Winston Ventures

Winston never hurried. He had somewhere to be every morning, and it was always the same place: the next bend in the trail, and then the one after that. We named this office for him because it is how we like to invest. We are not in a hurry. We hold what we own for a long time, we read everything twice, and we would rather walk a good road slowly than sprint down a bad one.

We are a private family office. We invest our own capital, patiently and in a small number of things, alongside people we would be glad to stand beside for a decade. We advise a handful of founders and families who want a second set of eyes and no agenda. And we build, now and then, when something we wish existed does not yet. That is the whole of it: invest, advise, build. Three words, all of them verbs.

This is the first of what we intend to be an unhurried series of letters. They will be short. They will say what we think and why, and they will not try to sell you anything. If something here is useful to you, write to us. We keep a light calendar and a long memory, and we still take the walk every morning.
