We run our fund in unorthodox ways to build trust with founders: We're a corporate-backed fund that invests to make money. We experiment with the limits of transparency -- instead of a normal website, we open sourced our entire operating manual. We measure success by our founders' customer service ratings of us.

Bloomberg Beta has an unconventional investing model where anyone on the team can say yes to a deal. The investing partnership has an equal male-to-female ratio.
