  Our barbecues, which started as a casual gathering of friends in 2018 in San Francisco, soon grew to be large monthly events connecting founders and investors. We raised a fund and still continue this tradition, supporting founders from the earliest stages. We invest in varied startups ranging from B2C platforms like Quinn, autonomous surgical systems like Andromeda Surgical, delivery robots like Coco, AI-driven answer systems like Andi, to innovative companies like SpaceX and AstroForge. Our strategy involves connecting founders to investors through events and then supporting them through various funding rounds. Examples include early investment in Forward Kitchens at the seed round with later participation in subsequent funding rounds, and being the first check for Coco during their robot prototype phase, continuing through multiple rounds. We focus on scalable, cost-effective innovative technologies and maintain involvement beyond initial funding to help secure key hires and further rounds. We attend monthly BBQ events to foster founder-investor connections and operate with an emphasis on supporting startups from early stages onward.

  Our strategy consulting firm is recognized for its ability to deal with complex issues. We believe this skill to be a form of art; because it requires talent, method, inspiration, creativity and discipline; because we often work at the edge of our clients' own knowledge, in a highly critical but often murky area, where problems are complex but nevertheless require simple solutions. 

  Our method is based on two fundamental principles: analytical rigor and empirical validation. We uncompromisingly apply logical reasoning and a strong grounding in reality on each project. 

  We provide strategic recommendations while respecting the culture of our clients. We strive to be innovative, yet to remain pragmatic. While complexity inspires us, simplicity is our guide. 

  We are advising large corporations, public and private companies, investment funds, organizations of all sizes and types.
