Builder Capitalist Ethos

You know you’re a builder capitalist if…

1. You aspire to build things that last.
2. You see yourself as a business builder first, investor second.
3. You have lived experience forming, building and scaling businesses.
4. You evaluate your investment of time and capital into each company over a time horizon that makes sense for that company, not an arbitrary fund duration.
5. You approach each company with a “no fail” mentality, which means there is no such thing as a “project” and there is no portfolio theory at-work. Each Company must stand on its own.
6. You know that while success may look like a conventional exit (acquisition or IPO), it could also look like long term quarterly dividends and is primarily defined by building a healthy and sustainable business with a strong long term focus, team and culture.
7. You structure investments with each company’s best interests in mind, whether they are special purpose vehicles (under a holding company) or thoughtfully structured unconventional funds, rather than try to make companies fit pre-existing one-size-fits-all terms or structures.
8. You define “track record” not using investment banking style portfolio management metrics, but as proven experience building and growing companies that focus on business fundamentals like revenues, EBITDA and global scale.
9. You know from experience that it takes a large, talented and experienced community to grow a business, and to do that you have built a highly functional group of advisors, board members, co-investors and operators who roll up their sleeves and help grow your companies.
10. You understand that communities don’t produce great outcomes without a strong, functional culture, so you value trust, radical transparency, reliability, commitment to the group and to operational excellence, above all.
