INTENTIONALITY

We know the state of inequality we find ourselves in is rooted in intention, not accident. We know the way toward equity is similarly rooted in intentionally and relentlessly supporting our communities, businesses, and institutions.

BRUTAL HONESTY

We seek to find truth, wherever it leads us. Whether we like the answers or not. The solutions to our circumstances lie not in pleasant fictions, but in sober assessment of reality

TRANSPARENCY

We believe trust is to be earned, not given. Everyday, we commit to taking risks. Everyday we expose ourselves to victory and vindication but also to mistakes and miscalculations. We let our partners, investors, and clients know how and why.

GRIN WHEN YOU FIGHT

We're disrupting a system that benefits other people. We not only expect resistance, we welcome it. We meet the naysayers, entrenched interests, and doubters on the fields of battle with our eyes open, our ears pinned back, and a smile on our face.

FIRST, DO NO HARM

We seek to radially change the futures of communities. That means we also must take care not to blow up the fabric and threads that make these communities in the first place. It means supporting local entrepreneurs and listening to people on the ground. Their ideas may be better than ours.
