Rise to meet the moment

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.
