Increased access to capital empowers individuals with financial flexibility, small businesses with opportunity for growth, and the overall economy with increased capacity for innovation.
We think of wellbeing as physical and mental wellness as well as happiness and fulfillment. We believe digital processes will drive down cost, increase access, and improve outcomes of medical care. We also invest in ideas around connection, community, and fun.
Trust is the foundation for lasting defensibility among the most enduring businesses. We believe that brands are built around promises, and trust means keeping those promises.
Cryptocurrencies and blockchains are turning financial services and data services into decentralized, open source protocols. We believe in the opportunity for these new protocols to massively unlock competition and innovation in computing, data, finance, and money itself.
We believe strong businesses are built upon strong networks where each additional user to join the network increases the value for all others. When this happens, the business achieves a structural defensibility that creates the opportunity for long term success.
The collective intelligence of our network increases with each new investment we make. We look to models of bottom-up, emergent community-building in practice to build the best network possible.
