COMPANIES
WHAT WE VALUE
trust
Moving fast is one of the highest priorities in the race of
creating value. A trust based environment enables entrepreneurs to
eliminate waste and move fast. According to the founders of our
portfolio, creating a trust based environment is our strongest
capability.
respect
To go beyond better, seeing through cacophony with clarity is a
rare but must-have superpower. It requires âthe boldâ to be brave
and to be vulnerable. We value building mutual respect through
camaraderie of practice, so we all can feel safe to be vulnerable
and figure out the âgist of itâ. We believe respect is earned
through actions rather than credentials...
team work
It is evermore critical to utilize and optimize
multidisciplinarity and multiculturalism. If having experience,
having in-depth domain or market knowledge meant doing everything
better, all these folks would have Unicorns. Obviously, they
donât. We believe in harmony and balance of perspectives, as well
as experience and domain knowledge. As such, we believe in
cultivating a fauna.
long term
In the world of ventures, we have the luxury of staying away from
the disease of the age; short-termism. We only invest in long term
relations and long term value. As unpredictability, chaos and
complexity continue to intensify exponentially, it is futile to
claim to be able to project the future. Therefore, we value
building adaptable contexts. From our LPs, to our capital and
industry partners, to our founders, we are set out to build
ecosystems â that not only can adapt and excel in short-term
volatilities but also sustain long term value.
