Investing in solutions to critical civilizational problems.

A founder's beliefs about the world shape what he bets on and builds—and thus the country we live in.

Venture is about building a better future.

The best founders of our age are keenly aware of the times we live in.

Increased global disruption, bureaucratic stagnation, and cultural and political chaos have become ubiquitous.

The myth of technological and institutional neutrality is quickly disappearing as it becomes clear that our society is shaped deeply by the companies and technologies that mediate our ability to speak, build, organize, transact, compute, and live in peace.

Whether through self-immolation, bureaucratic decay, or a fundamental disconnect from reality, institutions that seemed permanent are starting to crumble, opening base-layer critical gaps across all sorts of sectors—gaps that represent immense opportunities for a new class of pioneering technologies, companies, and industries.

We believe that the best founders of our generation—those willing to take the biggest swings—will take advantage of the opportunities emerging from the cultural and political changes around us to build companies that disrupt our nation in foundational and positive ways.

Our fund exists to back these founders, providing them capital, talent, and a deep well of other resources from our network.

We invest in category-creating companies positioned to seize civilizational opportunities unlocked by unprecedented deregulation and the shift toward local and national self-determination.

We love working with founders who get these themes, and founders who get these themes love working with us.

We invest in category-defining companies that are poised for cultural and economic disruption in ways that more isolated or generic responses ("X but for conservatives" or "productivity SaaS") would struggle to achieve.
