APPROACH
We're looking for the outliers that can completely change - or even create - an entire industry. The deals must have the potential to return our investors 50x, 100x, or even 1000x of their capital. This means we actively avoid deals that have a high likelihood of generating <10x.
In order to make an investment, we need to answer a HARD "YES" to each of the following 3 questions:
- If everything goes right, is the opportunity big enough to create a $10B+ company?
- Is the team uniquely positioned to solve this problem?
- Would I join these founders as an early employee?
We believe these 3 factors are key. If the company is operating in a huge space, with a team that has an unfair advantage in winning, and the founders have the ability to attract more great people as they grow, then they have the key ingredients to succeed.
