Invest in the long game.
Our fund structure enables us to play the long game alongside entrepreneurs who are transforming the world's largest sectors. We can hold positions and continue to invest indefinitely, up to and including in public markets. We can also deploy different types of capital in our companies.
Build for a world that works.
We believe that strategic investment in Industrials can unlock new, more equitable ways of working, huge gains in capacity and efficiency, and unprecedented economic growth. The transformation of our industrial systems will be the single biggest factor in mitigating climate change and ensuring a more secure world.
Employ first principles thinking.
After starting and running numerous companies and making hundreds of venture investments, we stepped back and asked, "What have we learned?" "How can we be the best partner for exceptional industrial entrepreneurs?" Starting with the proverbial blank sheet of paper, we co-created Unless with leading entrepreneurs and sophisticated LPs to maximize the magnitude and probability of success in the New Industrial Revolution.
Cultivate a prepared mind.
The core of Unless is our Collective of Experts. They fuel our prepared mind about the evolution of industrial sectors, supporting an unrivaled ability to help make our portfolio companies successful. This prepared mind, and the caliber of entrepreneurs we work with, gives us the conviction to deploy capital round after round, buy out other investors, provide debt facilities, etc.
