Get Busy Investing

Randall Stephens Obtuse Holdings

We back the people solving problems too big, too small, or too strange for anyone else to take seriously.

From curing onychomycosis to commercializing nuclear fusion, the common thread isn't the industry — it's the entrepreneur. Every great portfolio needs its Zihuatanejo, so we go looking for founders patient enough to tunnel through a wall with a rock hammer, one grain of sand at a time, for nineteen years if that's what it takes. Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things — but we'd also like a multiple on it.
