In the news
We build durable businesses from scratch in the nth Venture studio
nth Venture is a venture studio — not a fund, not an incubator and not an accelerator. From idea to execution, we build businesses from the ground up. Most importantly, we set them up for success and make sure they have the tools and resources they need to succeed in the long term.
From world-class advisors to top technology, we build businesses better. And we build better businesses.
You can invest in these high-potential businesses from the ground floor. Our model makes it possible for us to offer direct equity investment into each business of the next cohort at a fraction of the price VCs typically pay to invest in startups.
Why It Works.
Strong Bias to Autonomy.
Our incentive structure means we get to spend less time managing performance and more time building. Our teams work where, when, and on what makes sense. People deserve ownership not only in the places they work, but of their lives. We make certain they get both here.
Radical Incentive Alignment.
We believe that tying pay to hours worked is an unfortunate vestige of the industrial revolution that isn’t a great fit for the modern working world. By compensating our people on a profit-sharing basis and with a meaningful equity allocation, we unlock the extraordinary power of durable, high-performance teams.
Effective Support.
We provide a top-flight working platform for great talent so they can focus on doing their life’s best work and build businesses that make an impact. Our functional support and shared services give our ventures more bandwidth to focus on being exceptional in their field.
Investing in Cohorts with the nth Venture Studio.
Our venture studio is building businesses in cohorts to drive them forward in the most efficient, effective way possible. Watch as our CEO Sam Sawhook talks more about our process in the video below.
Investment Philosophy.
Our investment philosophy is centered around the exceptionally clear results of decades of academic work and practicing exemplars like Berkshire Hathaway, Markel and DFA. Invest for the long-term, avoid fees, ensure proper – but not excessive – diversification in simple businesses with passionate, effective and high-integrity managers. We apply those principles in the studio to create a portfolio of strong, resilient companies where people can work long-term and see the fruits of their labor. We just get in earlier than everybody else.
