They invest in founders who are uniquely qualified to build for America’s polycultural future—those with both lived and learned experience within underserved sectors. The firm’s core conviction is that ‘founders who inherently understand their target market have a competitive advantage,’ which drives outsized alpha. Their approach combines financial returns with measurable impact: ‘Make change, make money. Hand in hand.’
