The cubicle era of
knowledge work is ending.
As AI Agents take over data processing, research, analysis, writing and other knowledge work, a new kind of work is starting to emerge — one centered on taste, wisdom, and deep human judgement. We partner with and back founders to help usher in this new era.
Perpetual Optimism is a Force Multiplier
“The Ripple Effect for a leaders enthusiasm and optimism is huge, so its the cynicism and pessimism” - Colin Powel
Seek First to Understand, and then to be Understood
“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand, they listen with an intent to reply” - Stephen R. Covey
Embrace Change
Change is like throwing a rock in the water, it creates waves but the water always settles, and always faster that you expect.
Constantly Check your E2PC
E - Ego | E - Economics | P - Principles | C - Capacity maintain low E2 and high P & C
You Really Need to Care
Everything about accountability disappears when one stops caring. Care hard about the clients, partners, solving problems, and about making every day better.
A Project Doesn’t Define Your Self Worth
If one let’s it, they get defensive, and defensiveness destroys trust.
Take Ownership
If you messed up, own it .. then ask for help - and the first one to say “How can i help” should be the person next to you.

Trust Is Not An Entitlement
It’s earned over, and over and can never be taken for granted.
Do Not Assume The Worst When You Lack Information
If you trust first you’ll earn trust quickly.
Personal Effectiveness Is Not team Effectiveness
Its is always okay to sacrifice a little personal effectiveness to improve team's effectiveness.
In A Crisis, There Are No “Silver Bullets”
If you are in a production critical situation, assume there are 20 “Root Causes”. Once you fix one, keep checking to look for the others.
Sweat More During Peace; Bleed Less During War
“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, white defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.” - Sun Tzu
Think Win Win
It’s hard to compete with winners. It's even harder to compete with winners who create other winners.
ROR Is The Longtail
Value the long term of return on relations more than short term return on investment.
