PILLAR 1

We build companies to solve non-obvious and unsolved problems.

We take a problem-first approach to ideation.

We focus on problems with exceptional fundamentals.

The problem must be:

NON-OBVIOUS

  • Insiders and veterans see it, but tourists don’t
  • No one else is solving this exact problem

BIG

  • The impact will inspire a team
  • The TAM is venture-scale

URGENT

  • The pain is acute
  • The customer will purchase the remedy
    as soon as they see it

UNSOLVED

  • There is no direct competition
  • The customer will buy even when
    the solution is still immature

TIMELY

  • The customer is ready
  • The technology is ready
  • The regulation is ready

COMFY

  • We know the space well
  • We can apply our playbooks 
and hard-won experience
