"Positively defined, a startup is the largest group of people you can convince of a plan to build a different future." - Peter Thiel, Zero to One

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

Because of this, building a disruptive technology or company is fundamentally a political endeavor.

As part of the Vibe Shift, we are betting that the best founders of our generation—the most competent and willing to take big swings—will take advantage of the opportunities emerging from the cultural and political chaos around us and build companies that disrupt our nation in foundational and positive ways.

Three growing macro threats:
1. Global disruption and breakdown of trust
2. Bureaucratic stagnation
3. Cultural and political alienation

Three themes that define our response:
1. Household, communal, and national self-determination
2. Entrepreneurial judgement and skin in the game
3. American tradition and ideals

We invest in category-defining solutions that take advantage of these themes and are poised for market disruption and success in ways that more isolated responses ("X but for conservatives" or "productivity SaaS") would struggle to achieve.

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

If you are a founder or investor and our themes resonate with you, we encourage you to apply below.
