We know that social capital – the relationships and connections that lead to new opportunities, introductions, funding, and ideas – shifts and accelerates an organization’s trajectory. Our Advisors and LPs, collectively known as the Westbound Network, commit their social capital and expertise to our founders at every stage of the company-building process. This combination of deploying financial and social capital leads to win-win opportunities, and we believe will accelerate the next generation of great companies.
