Our Beliefs and Values
Our mission is to explore the dreams of scientists, inventors and entrepreneurs, to unearth ideas that will shape the 21st century and turn those ideas to reality. Our purpose is to transform innovative ideas into world-changing companies. We invest in companies that seek to make a profound, world-changing impact.
Our Beliefs
- We believe in entrepreneurs.
- We believe in the power of technology. We work hard to understand how cutting edge technologies can change the world.
- We believe in bold, world changing ideas—for them we are willing to take risks, endure ambiguity and accept setbacks that may be misconstrued as failure.
- We believe in collaboration. By leveraging the collective wisdom, experience and determination in our network, we are all better equipped and able to solve problems, seize market opportunities and create value and drive positive social change. Through collaboration, we minimize the risks, increase the probability of reward and build world-class organizations that are ahead of their time and where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Our Values
- Creativity and intellectual leadership. We search for thought leaders and new idea champions.
- Kaizen—the Japanese philosophy of ongoing improvement. Although some believe that ongoing improvement and innovation (which tends to conjure images of large change in the smallest possible time) are at odds, we know that turning big ideas into reality takes time. Ongoing improvement and innovation go hand-in-hand.
- Integrity—the foundation of everything we say and do.
