We partner with entrepreneurs building people-driven cultures.

We strive to walk alongside entrepreneurs who seek to bless their stakeholders, often beginning with their employees.

As our entrepreneurs navigate the tension between pressure for relentless growth and desire for a people-driven culture, we listen and encourage them to lead with convictions and love.

We do not pursue this work alone. Through Asia Companion Fund (ACF), we partner closely with investors who share our desire to see entrepreneurs flourish in every aspect of life — experiencing more of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Our investor community is not only the engine that fuels our work, but also a source of deep joy and encouragement for us and our entrepreneurs.

In addition to providing equity capital, we provide grant funding to select portfolio companies to support their effort in building people-driven cultures as they grow to significant scale.
