Software founders and management teams have an incredible opportunity to breath an idea into life, nurture the “there’s a better way” notion into fruition and propagate their vision to the world. The challenge is compelling and the future is bright. Partnering as consiglieres with these renegades and builders who share our affinity for focus, endurance and thoughtful conviction represents an amazing mission, one that motivates us each and every day.
