Inclusion as an economic thesis.
Capital does not reach talent evenly. That gap is an injustice — and, for a disciplined investor, an opportunity. We invest in both truths.
Our thesis
Underrepresented founders systematically receive less capital at worse terms, independent of business quality. Investors willing to underwrite on fundamentals gain access to mispriced opportunity.
Businesses that authentically serve underserved communities often hold customer loyalty that spreadsheet-driven capital undervalues.
Inclusion is not a side fund or a press release at this firm. It is a lens applied across every focus area — real estate, operating companies, and creator brands alike.
