About Asylum

Venture catering degrades returns. But its alternative, contrarianism, remains treacherously difficult.

Our approach is to design the startup we'd love to build. If we find it, we fund it. If we don't, we found it.

  1. Design the thing
  2. Find it? Fund it
  3. No find? Found it

Ideally, we can quickly locate a well-formed project that embodies the essence of our original design. Barring that, we share our plans with various would-be partners in the hope they can pivot. If that fails, we move to incubate the opportunity ourselves.

Our particular method of incubation is collaborative. Sharing is caring. Key partners will be liberally staked, in the spirit of maximal acceleration.
