“I think the problems that we're going to face in the new century are far beyond the wisdom of Solomon, let alone me. But I think the right place to start is to say - fair is fair. This is who we are."
The West Wing, Mr Willis of Ohio
At Voulez Capital we are inspired by Tony Hsieh’s “Delivering Happiness - a path to profits, passion and purpose”. It made us realise the importance of articulating our values. After all, our culture is what sets us apart from the rest of the VC industry. It is what allows us to foster trust with our founders, help them build great businesses, and to drive change in the VC industry, one transaction, one interaction at a time.
But simply assuming that people will get it, just by hearing us talk about Voulez Capital and what we do, is not going to be enough. These values have to be articulated so they can permeate the whole business, become our company’s very DNA and drive how we, as the whole organisation, as the tribe, as each individual member, treat and interact with others.
We will continue to solicit feedback on these values from members of our tribe and to add to them over time. In the mean time, let this list remain a line drawn in the sand.
This is who we are.
