Accelerate
F = m*a Holding force (i.e., effort, capital and time) constant, we remove mass (i.e., inertia) to accelerate the velocity of learning, cash flow and demonstrable impact. Entrepreneurs commonly cite roadblocks and investors highlight risks - the top few include: (0) Execution - will it work ? (1) Market - will people want it? (2) Financing - will it snowball before dying? Our value(venture) job before investing a single dollar is to answer (0), making an implicit bet on the team, timing and technology. We work with founders and industry to eliminate (1), qualifying demand at specific requirements, unit volume and pricing. Our execution along these goals reduces the need for true risk capital in (2), although growth equity, working capital lines and project finance are just as useful to scaling our businesses as others. What's your escape velocity and how can we help you achieve it in ~1 year?
