Builder Capitalism
Builder capitalism is rooted in long-view investment horizons designed to maximize the chance of success, rather than to adhere to the arbitrary duration of a fund.
As a result, builders tend to create structures that serve the growth of businesses. Often (but not always), this translates into holding companies instead of funds. Regardless of the structure, builders create a context that is in service to the success and health of the companies, instead of fast growth at all costs.
Builders build, which means that they lead with operational excellence not portfolio theory. Builder capitalists are hands-on and truly in partnership with founders in helping them build and grow their businesses together.
Track records for builder capitalists involve operational fundamentals like EBITDA and experience scaling businesses. Builder capitalists favor innovation over financial engineering, and pass on strategies like spray and pray, preferring instead to be all-in.
You’ll never see a builder hire one entrepreneur-in-residence to serve a portfolio of two hundred companies. Builders create loosely organized communities of trusted, proven operators and visionaries who serve to support companies over time. The community invests, operates, advises and services the companies in different capacities, as the businesses evolve and expand.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” – African Proverb
Builder Capitalism is not new.
Entrepreneurs with proven business acumen have been building and scaling businesses this way for generations. Iconic builders around the world have built and sustained multi-generational legacies by betting on hard work and innovation, not by playing the odds.
We’re looking for you, fellow builders. It’s time to open source what we do best and create a blueprint for emerging investors and founders alike. The founders of tomorrow’s world-changing enterprises deserve better than what they’re getting today. The marketplace of ideas needs a viable, proven, competitive alternative to venture capital.
We have it.
Let’s join forces and create a startup culture that builds rather than extracts. Our community needs this now, more than ever.
