With over $5B AUM, we are an interdisciplinary team that pairs equally well with Nobel laureates and techno punks. We connect with misfits, contrarians and iconoclasts who thrive in the chaos of breakthrough-making and hate being told what to do. I am particularly interested in supporting gritty entrepreneurs building breakthrough companies enabling human and environmental health, access, and productivity.
