Value Add
- Geographic focus outside coastal hubs – anchored in Texas and the broader Central U.S.; explicit mission to find and back founders in underrepresented regions and communities.
- Operational platform and proprietary framework (The Mercury Method) that scores startups and provides playbooks to improve operational hygiene.
- Distinct investment mantra: “go slow to grow fast” — intentionally slowing startups at a critical stage to address operational process deficiencies so they scale faster and fail less often.
- Formal alignment with broader societal frameworks — beginning to categorize portfolio against the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while remaining a general VC (not an impact fund).
- Ecosystem building and in-house/advisory resources (e.g., OmniScience, Gsqrd, HG Partners, Fractal River) that supplement capital with technical, GTM, and financial operations support.
- Track record and scale: claims of creating over $13.5 billion of value since inception and repeated exits and acquisitions across sectors.
