We believe that trust is the basis for lasting life and business relationships. Being a trusted partner means being credible, reliable and open in communication. It also means putting oneself in the other’s shoes.
Actualizing potential is very hard. It requires embracing the life-long challenge of competing with others and with ourselves. We see winning as the only option and believe that fair competition brings out the best in ourselves and for others.
While our core philosophy was originated by Plato and Aristotle, their predecessor Socrates insightfully said: “I know that I know nothing”. We are all born ignorant, but can strive every day to stay open-minded always learning a little more while knowing that there are so many things we do not know.
We embrace a culture and team that is not bound by conventional rules and promotes free thinking as well as the free expression of these thoughts. We believe that what we think is possible is only limited by our imagination. Imagination comes first, then comes action.
We know that ideas or potential are worthless if not actualized. Turning them into reality means to make happen. That can sometimes mean going slow to go fast to ensure that we are moving in the right direction. But we move and we make happen – without delay and with vigor.
We pursue excellence in all we do. Excellence does not mean perfection, but it is much closer to it than to mediocrity. We try, we err, we learn, and as a result we are getting increasingly excellent every day. Excellence is the standard we strive for and do not compromise on.
We take life, business, our startup, fund, and ecosystem partners very seriously – not ourselves.
