The common welfare; The public good.
Our country faces great challenges, from competition with China and public safety to climate change and a broken healthcare system. These challenges provide immense opportunities for entrepreneurs with bold ideas. Founders can best seize these opportunities by partnering with government. Governments enable scale, fund innovation, determine market standards, tax, and regulate.
While some see government as a roadblock, we know first-hand that working with government can unlock value. We focus on business models that can tap this potential. Our team combines venture investors with experienced public officials, from former Cabinet members to mayors, offering you an asymmetric advantage in some of the world’s largest markets.
