“There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, ‘Morning, boys. How’s the water?’ And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes ‘What the hell is water?’”
-David Foster Wallace

What do you choose to do today?
Let’s make it happen.
It all begins with awareness. Then an idea. But ideas often stop and hit walls. They’re too hard, too controversial, too expensive, too time consuming, too scary to say out loud.
We support founders who defy odds, convention, and naysayers. As builders and operators ourselves, we’ve been on the front lines and we know what it means to eat last.
Our investments span categories, but the single thread remains the vision and fight we see in the founding team, along with a purposeful, focused mission.
We wish you way more than luck,
-Caitlin & Stuart Landesberg
