The 3x5 Way

Stewardship

We prioritize service to our portfolio companies, serving as board members, trusted advisors, partners, and stewards. We’ve found that this approach leads to the best long-term outcomes for both investors and entrepreneurs.
Focus

We invest in six to eight companies per fund. This highly targeted approach allows us to better focus on supporting each company’s mission, whether we’re acting as sounding boards to leadership teams or providing tactical advice on operations.
Relationships

We build trusting relationships with the management of our portfolio companies, fellow board members, co-investors, public stakeholders, and our own family of investors. We commit to transparency and prioritize shared success.
Patience

Solving critical challenges requires patience, fortitude, leadership, and often significant capital throughout a company’s life cycle. We regularly lead early financings (Series A and B) and fund companies through an exit or initial public offering (IPO).
