It’s the open seas of entrepreneurship for us.

Entrepreneurship is too-often described as a difficult, dangerous journey that only the well-financed and experienced should take. This narrative leaves too many potential future CEO’s and business owners standing on the shoreline.
 
The reality is that not every entrepreneurial voyage requires the equivalent of a commercial frigate or a seasoned Navy captain. The open ocean can be explored (and enjoyed) by a self-propelled kayak, surfboard, or raft. 
 
So, we’re creating a new model of entrepreneurship. We are building multiple businesses that are small, lightweight, and nimble. They are self-financed, free from the sirens of venture capital that sadly leave some businesses on the rocks
