Conversations with a Dead Man
A book. A universe. A long-duration position.

Active Bets
Not every experiment becomes a position. That is part of the point.
Operating Model
How We Operate
Concentration, architecture, distribution and experimentation are not slogans. They are constraints on where attention goes and why.
See the operating approach →Architecture
Build connected systems around the position instead of accumulating isolated tactics.
Distribution
Create multiple legitimate ways for the right audience to encounter the work.
Experimentation
Use controlled experimentation to pursue uncommon results—driving innovation, producing evidence, and preserving permission to stop when an experiment no longer earns its cost.
Republic of Holdings
Build the machine around the work.
We commit disproportionate attention to a small number of projects, properties and systems we believe are worth diving into.
Sometimes those things are ours. Occasionally, something outside our portfolio is interesting enough that we decide to care just as much about it.
