Championing the outer echelon of founders.
Outlier companies are built by those obsessed with impossible problems - people who often feel they operate on a different frequency.
We call them “aliens” 👽
We’re tuned to that frequency and have built a community that provides them the resources and relationships they need to generate billion-dollar ideas that the world never saw coming.
Echelon written in Marain
What gives us conviction in founders:
OBSESSION
“What's wrong with this person?”
They are obsessed with a problem no one can solve, but if they could it would change the world.
UNIQUE FIT
“Is this the only person to build this?”
Their unique career assets lead to an “earned secret” that becomes the go-to-market strategy.
CONSISTENCY
“Who is this person outside the context of their company?”
Their character traits are identical between social and fundraising settings, a proxy for trust in tough times.
Our Network
Obsessing on hard problems is in our DNA too.
We’ve created communities to work on them directly with founders.
Private, curated group of 50+ founders sharing learnings and making connections.
