01 / The thesis

Visionary founders drive positive change.

The data is clear. Innovation is creating a world of abundance for the many — more opportunity, better health, less poverty. Visionary entrepreneurs are the main driving force.

Supporting visionary founders is one of the most effective ways to accelerate this trend.

02 / The problem

Many great founders fall victim to startup politics.

A study of 4,000 founders showed that about 50% had been kicked out at some point. Assuming an average of one to two companies started per founder, that's a 25–50% probability of being ousted — usually from a successful company.

03 / The waste

It's a massive waste of creative potential.

Anyone can dream up transformative innovations. Few can bring them to life. Visionary founders can. Most companies that lose their visionary founder lose their transformative potential — leaving half-baked companies and wasted human potential.

04 / Who we are

We are White Knight.

An activist investment fund that believes this is a problem worth solving — and that a founder-loyal activist approach can generate outstanding financial returns.
