The thesis

Whoever best aligns with reality has the best outcomes.

01 / 03

Align your offerings with the market

Map the market and beyond-market trends that shape your business landscape, now and five years from now. Know your audiences and segment your positioning accordingly. Create a repeatable go-to-market playbook. Find the evolving edge of your regulatory envelope and push it.

02 / 03

Align the market with your offerings

Identify emerging consumer, regulatory, and activist risks and opportunities. Build stakeholder coalitions to shape this landscape. Develop a marketing strategy to prime demand. Get the most from your professional organization memberships.

03 / 03

Tap new markets

Identify low hanging fruit for expansion. Earn a "social license to operate" in markets with cultural and political challenges. Understand the core brand impacts of market expansion. Conduct beyond-market due diligence so M&A efforts can hit the ground running without reputational, cultural, or personality impediments.

The ethos

Agility. Independence. Humility. Science. Context. Simplicity.

How we work

We are not beholden to the top-down ethos of any hedge fund, and we deliberately staff projects to create real diversity of perspective — left to right, urban to rural, young to old.

Our common thread is that we are truth seekers. We let the data drive our models, rather than the other way around. Our job is not to moralize. Our job is to create options.
