Our Thesis
/ The Principles That Guide How We Choose and Support Individuals
Context over Credentials.
We focus on "contextual outliers" - people who have produced exceptional results relative to the constraints they've faced, regardless of where they started.
Trajectory over Pedigree.
Badges are lagging indicators. We bet on rate-of-change and learning velocity, backing individuals whose current momentum exceeds what their starting point would predict.
Ambition Compounds with Density.
Ambition is fragile in isolation. We build high-agency environments where ambition compounds through exposure to peers at the frontier, expanding the horizon of what feels possible.
Underwriting the Baseline.
Failure can be existential for those without a safety net. We provide the foundation required for outliers to take high-variance risks and produce breakthrough work.
How the Fellowship Works
/ Community, micro-grants, and fellowship support.
Community
We convene ambitious builders in high-trust gatherings - dinners, fireside conversations, focused co-working, and more - to raise the bar for what feels possible. Members get direct feedback, introductions when useful, and time to build alongside peers.
Micro-grants
We provide quick micro-grants for early technical exploration: prototyping, experiments, compute, or travel. Lightweight terms and fast checks to unblock your early experiments..
The Fellowship
We offer funding to cover 4 - 6 months of runway for deep exploration, research, or prototyping. Includes direct access to credits, frontier labs, funders, and more.
We back builders
early.
From 18-year-old prodigies to second-time founders; from independent scientists to researchers inside frontier labs - we've supported hundreds of builders across startups, venture, and deep research.
Some come with logos. Many don't.
We back people from day one - and stay close when it counts.
Pedigree is optional. Progress isn't.
