Description

We believed in T-Mobile when it was on the edge of irrelevance. We believed in Tomorrowland before it was a worldwide phenomenon, Al Jazeera when it was tainted by the Arab Spring, Formula E when it was nothing more than a dream, and dozens of others that have achieved greatness. If you dream of building a breakthrough, it will take work—an almost impossible amount. You will have to adapt, regroup, and pivot. You will battle devastating setbacks and face endless unknowns. Sometimes, you will make a fool of yourself. Conventional thinkers will often say you’re wrong. You will spend time with VCs and others who will tell you everything that can go wrong, while lacking the talent and imagination to envision what can go right. You will experience days when you agree with the doubters while fighting your personal demons on the breakthrough roller coaster. Through everything, we remain your category co-founders, not just investors in your future. On the toughest days, we will remind you—“You’ve got this.” The world needs more problems solved; more breakthroughs made. A breakthrough company is not a lottery ticket, a roll of the dice, or an experiment. The future is not random. It’s designed. Over the last two decades, we’ve worked with transformational founder-led companies, collectively worth more than $300 billion today.
