So if we invest our money in an entrepreneurial venture, it´s our duty to help bring that entrepreneur´s dream to life. And it´s our fiduciary duty to ensure that the investment pays off. This requires not only sufficient capital, but also a high level of involvement on our part at every stage.

We encourage our entrepreneurs to devote the time, money and effort to eliminating key risks up front. We participate in weekly half-day meetings during the "drunken walk" phase. We help craft teams and help them succeed. We encourage capital efficiency and reasonable financing. We hit the road with the team to help secure early customers and partners. In a very real sense, we get under the young company´s skin.

Beyond that, we mobilize our broad network of executives, founders, angels and venture capitalists on the venture´s behalf.
