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. This mindset has put countless companies out of business, with their doors closed and their teams furloughed.
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 doesn’t have the potential to be an exceptional business.
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.
