BEYOND UNICORNS
A Focus on "picks and shovels"...
We avoid speculative startups that seek to invent new markets. Our focus on “picks and shovels” is deliberately intended to contrast with “Unicorns,” the term coined for high-risk venture capital backed startups that are valued at over $1 billion.
The “picks and shovels” companies we invest in take a conservative approach to risk and look for high probability outcomes. We help “picks and shovels” embrace challenges, mitigate risk, navigate transformational growth, and achieve sustainable profitability.
