We build enduring companies by returning to first principles—and back the leaders who live them.
Where Leadership Meets First Principles Thinking
We back founders, operators, and builders who challenge assumptions and engineer the future from the ground up. By starting with what’s true—and asking why until we get to the root—we uncover opportunity where others see obstacles.
From defense manufacturing to emergent technologies, we don’t follow trends. We build foundational systems that outlast them.
