About
Technology is bringing abundance to the world. But, only a handful of people start the iconic companies with the biggest impact.
At Floodgate, we call these special founders the Prime Movers.
Prime Movers -- through their vision, talent, and will -- create massive outcomes from nothing. Equally important, they are brave enough to defy conventional wisdom. Walls and barriers and “rules” accepted by others don’t stop them.
Floodgate backs Prime Movers before others believe.
We are built from the ground-up to partner with Prime Movers when their legendary journeys begin. We’ve seen that breakthroughs seem crazy at first. We are not afraid of startups that re-write the rules (and even the law), if that’s what it takes to create enduring change. We know that a raw startup must navigate through a fog of massive uncertainty. Dramatic and frequent course corrections come with the territory. Taking these risks with founders is unique to our DNA and how we add value.
