Ethics as Alpha

Trust compounds. Transparent, founder‑first practices directly improve long‑term returns.

The venture capital industry needs a reset.

After witnessing too many ethical failures that damage founders, investors, and entire ecosystems, we are proud to support the Mensarius Oath created by VC Lab. Here is why this matters more than ever:

  • 🤝
    Trust is Currency When VCs break promises or manipulate terms, it destroys trust that takes years to rebuild. The oath creates accountability.
  • ⚖️
    Power Dynamics The investor‑founder relationship has inherent power imbalances. Committing to fairness and respect levels the playing field.
  • 🌍
    Impact Beyond Returns Our investment decisions shape industries, communities, and the future. Integrity ensures we create positive change.
  • 🔄
    Long‑term Thinking Ethical behavior builds sustainable relationships that generate better returns over decades, not quarters.
  • 📊
    Market Health When the entire ecosystem operates with transparency and honesty, everyone benefits from increased efficiency and reduced friction.
