Focus statement

Value Add

Describes itself as a "symbiotic network" that "propels innovation," emphasizing network effects and active ecosystem participation rather than just capital.
Invests across both company equity and venture fund vehicles (dozens of venture funds and partner funds listed), including programs like Foundry Crucible funds — i.e., a dual strategy of company + fund investments.
Long track record and scale: founded 2007 and "manages more than $3 billion" with investments in hundreds of companies, signaling both experience and capacity.
Explicit commitment to supporting the next generation of venture fund managers (not just founders), which broadens their role in the venture ecosystem.
Intentional community engagement and philanthropy (numerous nonprofit partnerships and initiatives focused on entrepreneurship and racial/gender equity).
Cultural emphasis on openness and founder-friendly behaviors (e.g., public 'manifesto' on better board meetings and a self-described "give first" philosophy).
