Somewhere along the way, software companies became obsessed with growth at all costs.
Our industry somehow took the most efficient businesses in the world and turned them into cash incinerators, all in the name of growth.
We believe in offering an antidote to the startup rat race.
The growth at all costs mindset has put countless companies out of business, with their product shuttered and their teams furloughed, reliant on the whims of fundraising.
Curious is a long-term home for real businesses and operators, who know that it’s not a zero-sum game.
Just because a business isn’t a fit for the venture capital model, doesn't mean it can't exist as a sustainable company.
We exist to help founders transition their company from unsustainable to sustainable, to change the culture from urgent to calm.
As a team of operators, we evaluate a business on what it can become and help it get there.
There’s an alternate path. Curious exists to provide it.
We work to fulfill the vision of the founders, while operating businesses in the context of decades, not years.
