Building a Community of Founders
Equitable Venture
We view the founders we invest in as true partners in our work. That’s why we’ve instituted an Equitable Venture pool, where founders are entitled to a share in the profits of our fund - because our success is their success. We view this Equitable Venture structure as a crucial part of our commitment to a holistic and founder fair model of investing.
