What working with us is like

Three promises we make to every founder, and what each one means in practice.

  1. A straight path running between two rows of olive trees.

    A decision you can plan around.

    You'll know where you stand quickly, including when the answer is no. We don't keep a company waiting to keep our options open.

    In practiceA clear yes or no within six weeks of a first meeting.

  2. Hands sorting freshly harvested olives into a crate.

    A partner in the room, not on your back.

    We agree up front how often we meet, what we'll ask for and where we can help, then we hold to it.

    In practiceA board seat, a quarterly review and a partner you can call any day.

  3. A lone old olive tree standing beside a dirt road under a clear sky.

    Capital that waits.

    There is no fund clock forcing a sale. We sell when it's right for the company, and we're happy to hold for a decade or more.

    In practiceNo fixed exit date on any investment.
