The firm aims to connect the many dots between discovery and commercialization by empowering founders with long-term capital and personalized support. LGB is an evergreen fund adopting a long-term investment horizon. They contrast their approach with traditional VC or private equity, emphasizing ownership over renting, implying a deeper commitment to their portfolio companies. They prioritize sincere relationships and believe in the power of social compounding, where each new community member contributes to a virtuous cycle. Founded in 2019 and launched in 2020, LGB spent two years analyzing investment organizations and strengthening internal processes to align with their mission. They developed six principles and 25 mandates to mitigate human biases and mixed incentives in investing. LGB values productive failure, viewing it as an opportunity for learning, while success can lead to presumption. LGB isn't actively involved in the day-to-day management of its portfolio companies and provides tailored networking and educational opportunities. Resources for fundraising, HR, strategy, technology, and branding are provided on a case-by-case basis. The firm prioritizes alignment with founders' visions, considering an investment a long-term commitment, akin to a marriage.
