Ventures
Great ventures have SOUL.
Their machinery preserves the reason they exist. Use the Soul Test, then choose a venture to see who it serves, what it changes, and how it learns.
Before you back a venture
Learn to judge what deserves to compound.
A strong ecosystem needs players who can test economic value and values together: truth, identity, trust, worthwhile value, and the spirit of good company.
Learn the lens → examine a venture → write a falsifiable allocation memo → forecast only after the values and outcome gauge are explicit.
