Partnering With Founders Eager To Push Boundaries

APPROACH

Building an enduring company is one of the hardest climbs in the world. Like summiting the planet’s tallest 14 peaks, the founder’s journey demands vision, endurance, and a team bound by trust. We back the rare few who thrive in the thin air — founders who see beyond the next ridge, who climb with conviction, and who refuse to turn back when the weather turns.

Building an enduring company isn’t a sprint, it’s a summit. Every climb tests vision, resilience, and the team you bring with you. We seek founders who thrive in thin air—the ones who keep moving when the path fades, trust their footing in uncertainty, and know that reaching altitude isn’t the same as reaching the top
