ABOUT

The world's best early-stage platform for exceptional founders.

We're looking for the top 0.1% of talent solving the world's most consequential problems. We think the best companies solving those problems will also be enormous ones.


THE IDEA

Impact × capitalism.

1 + 1 has to equal 2. We believe the most scalable solutions to humanity's biggest problems will also create enormous companies. Too many companies focused purely on impact get run into the ground because the economics never made sense. Passion is great, but scaling and building a lasting business is what actually creates the impact.

We don't want mission statements. We want real builders who want to make money by making the world materially better. That's the whole test.


HOW IT WORKS

Mostly remote. Occasionally in person, always on us.

This isn't a fixed-length, fully in-person program you relocate for. It's ongoing mentorship and community, with a few in-person moments that matter.

Ongoing
Virtual programming. One-on-one calls with mentors, scientists, and operators in your area of interest, plus group sessions with other fellows.
A few times a year
In-person events. Small retreats and dinners with exceptional CEOs, investors, and scientists in San Francisco, Miami, New York, and Vancouver. Partners front the cost, including flights and hotel, for fellows invited to attend.
If you take capital
Much more hands-on. Portfolio founders get more intensive support: private CEO dinners, direct involvement from our team, recruiting help, and introductions to follow-on investors.

FOUNDER

Alex Monahan

I graduated from Stanford and spent two years working as a quant on Wall Street before quitting to start OddsJam, a sports data company. I avoided venture capital, bootstrapped it, and sold it for $160M about three and a half years after starting.

I bring a quant's mindset to venture: model the probability distribution of outcomes, size the bet, and back the people, not just the idea. I'm hands-on, and if you're selected, my team and I work closely with you.
