The evidence behind
our conviction.

Startups create 3 million new jobs every year in the US. Without them, net job creation turns negative. Your company isn't just a business — it's a jobs engine.

Every high-tech job you create generates 5 more local jobs — 2 professional and 3 non-professional. Your hiring ripples far beyond your own payroll.

Every developer you hire creates 2.5 additional local jobs. Engineering talent doesn't just write code — it anchors neighbourhoods and builds communities that make cities thrive.

Startups contribute 44% of US GDP. Nearly half of the world's largest economy is built by founders who started with nothing but conviction and a willingness to bet everything on an idea.

The Magnificent 7 — mostly VC-backed — now represent 34.6% of the S&P 500. The companies that define global markets were once pitch decks.

The top 100 unicorns are worth $2.95 trillion. The next trillion-dollar company is being built now — possibly by you, in a garage, almost certainly against the odds.

For every $1 of incubator subsidy, $30 returns in local tax revenue. Venture infrastructure doesn't cost the economy — it multiplies it, turning public investment into compounding growth.

Public R&D investment generates up to 33x in economic and social spillover. The research you fund today becomes tomorrow's GDP — and the infrastructure the next generation builds on.

Green economy startups are projected to create 8.4 million youth jobs by 2030. Climate isn't just a cause — it's the largest hiring opportunity of the decade.

Closing the gender gap adds $12–28 trillion to global GDP. This isn't charity — it's the single largest untapped economic opportunity on the face of the earth.

Equal entrepreneurship alone would add $2.5–5 trillion to the global economy. Every barrier removed is a company built, a market created, and a community strengthened.

Women reinvest 90% of income into families and communities versus 30–40% for men. Investing in women doesn't just build companies — it builds civilisations.

90% of gender lens investors met or exceeded return expectations. Inclusion isn't a trade-off against performance — it's the engine behind it. The data is no longer debatable.

Closing the digital gender divide adds $1.5 trillion by 2030 and lifts 30 million women from poverty. Technology only scales when access does — and access starts with investment.

Female founders produce 24.3% of VC exits despite receiving roughly 2% of capital. Imagine what happens when capital finally matches the talent — the returns will rewrite the industry.

The standard accelerator model takes 7% equity and delivers a demo day. We take alignment seriously — and deliver infrastructure that compounds for years, not weeks.

85% of seed-stage startups never reach Series A — up from 70% in 2021. We engineer the bridge that gets founders across. That's what separates operators from spectators.

New US venture fund formation dropped 68% from 2021 to 2024. While the industry pulled back, we doubled down — because scarcity creates the best entry points.

Active investors at their lowest level in a decade. Less competition, more strategic positioning. The founders who build now will define the next cycle.

The EU has 249 unicorns versus 1,444 in the US and 330 in China. Europe's talent is world-class — its capital infrastructure is not. The scale-up gap is structural.

Just 1.2% of MENA venture funding goes to female-founded startups. Half the population, one percent of the capital. The math doesn't add up — and neither does the strategy.

Latin America captures roughly 5% of global VC despite contributing 8.4% of world GDP. The talent surplus is massive — the funding deficit is where the opportunity lives.

Southeast Asia sees roughly $5 per capita in venture capital versus ~$300 in the US. Six hundred million people, almost zero venture infrastructure. That's not a gap — it's the single largest untapped venture opportunity on earth. We're already there.

Only 10.7% of startups exit — 8.4% through M&A and 2.3% through IPO. The vast majority never reach a liquidity event. The odds are brutal, but they reward conviction.

64% of funded startups never raise beyond their first round. The first check is relatively easy — finding the second one separates the real from the rest.

Only 4.3% of startups reach five or more funding rounds — the true venture-scale cohort. Everything else is noise. We build founders who make it to this tier.

56.7% of all funded startups are US-based. The world's best founders are everywhere — the world's capital is not. That asymmetry is where we operate.

55% of US unicorns were founded by immigrants. The greatest returns come from people the system wasn't designed for — the outsider advantage is real, and we bet on it.
