Thesis
Execution Over Theory
We believe the fastest way to validate an idea is to build and ship a functional version. Prolonged analysis leads to paralysis. We prioritize rapid, iterative execution to generate real-world data.
Our 14-day cycles force clarity and focus. Constraints breed creativity. We either find product-market fit quickly, or we kill the project and move on. This discipline minimizes waste and maximizes learning velocity.
Rapid Prototyping
From idea to live product in 14 days.
Data-Driven Decisions
Real user metrics guide every pivot or kill decision.
Portfolio Discipline
No emotional attachment. We fund winners.
Protocol
The 14-Day Cycle
Days 1–3

Days 4–7
Build the minimum viable product (MVP). Focus on core functionality only.
Days 8–11

Manifesto
Our Guiding Principles
Speed is the primary metric.
Learning velocity compounds faster than any other advantage.
Code is a liability.
We write the minimum amount required to test a hypothesis.
Data beats opinion.
Decisions are made based on user behavior, not internal debate.
Discipline over delusion.
We are ruthless about killing projects that don't meet metrics.
Proof > Promises
