Our primary focus is helping early stage companies deploy lightweight disruptive business models to become the low cost player in their respective market. We bring traditional financial institution best practices to the angel investing space.
We provide hands-on support through our in-house operating team, plus a proprietary network of outside executives who work with portfolio companies on an as-needed basis. This is common in growth equity investing, but much less common in early-stage investing. Our partners are experienced operators; we have founded a range of businesses both as stand-alone startups and on the Goldman Sachs platform. We've invested extensive time and effort in identifying best practices for many of the disciplines necessary to grow a startup; see some of our conference presentations for examples.
