Is it stupid to invest *before* a founder has an idea? We don't think so. In fact, the majority of SPC founder fellows are *pre-idea* when they apply and their companies are now worth over $1B. So how do we do it?

I joined @southpkcommons when I was going from -1 to 0. It didn’t take long to realize this would be my life’s work. Today, we’re celebrating the -1 to 0 journey with the launch of third fund. Onwards!

1/ We’re humbled to announce @southpkcommons Fund III: $275M to support exceptional founders from day -1. Since 2016, we’ve had a simple thesis: greatness is more likely to emerge when high talent density meets high curiosity. That's why we focus on -1 to 0.

The Founder Fellowship helps you reach conviction in an idea that you can make your life’s work. We’ll show our conviction by giving you $1,000,000 to go from -1 to 0.

1/ Startups are absurdly difficult. The stars must align for even a chance at success. The @southpkcommons Founder Fellowship gives founders the best chance possible. Applications are open for $1M and the -1 to 0 support that's produced 145 companies worth $35B.🧵

I’m moving from SF to… a different place in SF. Is that allowed still?

When I joined @southpkcommons 3 years ago, I had no idea what I wanted to do next. It didn’t take long for me to realize that SPC was home. It’s daunting to figure out what to spend the next 5-10 years working on. Here’s how SPC helps👇

This will be the most selective fellowship yet. - Will likely double the previous application record - Quality is off the charts - AI, healthcare, devtools are most popular - We will continue to have a small, intimate cohort (8-12 teams with 6 partners) to maximize support
