Hummingbird backs ‘outlier founders’ with nonlinear thinking and ‘out-of-your-mind ambition’ who are building category-defining businesses. They believe the future will be shaped by founders with deep-rooted ambition and an otherworldly sense of urgency. The firm practices selective, high-conviction investing with a global perspective, betting on founders ‘when it isn’t obvious, yet’ rather than following formulas or pedigrees.
What Sets Them Apart
- Founders can 'filter out 95% of the advice they're given' - low-friction, non-medling approach
- Generalist VC model that reinvents faster than specialists, avoiding domain expertise lock-in
- Selective concentration - only invest a few times per year with deep conviction (once invested 25% of a fund in one company)
- Nomadic global team constantly on the move to meet founders where they are, avoiding 'bubble think' and provincialism
- Pattern recognition for spotting 'outliers of the outliers' through contrarian questioning
- Brutal honesty combined with hands-on support during 'near-death moments'
- Portfolio construction philosophy: 'Portfolio diversification is for people who don't know what they are doing' - they double and triple down on proven winners
