To think big, original, and different. Then, to ensure founders and their teams stay healthy on the journey to take that thinking and transform the world. Withthe hope that along the way, beautiful companies are born that are driven by both profit and purpose while taking great care of the world around them. In the end, we believe the foundational technology breakthroughs that most benefit humanity are forged at the intersection of science, engineering, design, and art.
