We are all given to grow.

Founded on the truth that we are all given to grow, we leverage our deep expertise, lived experiences and extensive networks to offer a wide range of services and investment opportunities that meet underrepresented visionaries and bold ideas where they are with what they most need. Collectively, we transform ideas into lasting value that scales and give rise to a society where all can thrive.

Our Vision.

Create wealth equity with uncommon excellence.

Our Mission.

Unlock the $35 trillion lost to economic exclusion by addressing the root causes of wealth and wage gaps with solutions that integrate responsible technology, culture, and community.

WHERE WE WORK.

BeGood Partners is dedicated to dismantling four structural barriers to wealth equity. To do so, we work with clients and portfolio companies in five core areas.

WHAT WE DO.

We know that no business, no matter how great its team or how innovative its product, has ever survived on funds alone, so we founded BeGood Partners on the idea that there exist five forms of capital, each of which are essential—and the monetary kind is only one.

BeGood Partners is built to deliver on all five.

We call this Capital 5.0.

  • The relational capital that connects you with the people and institutions on which your business will depend

  • The experiential capital it takes to anticipate the unexpected and overcome it intelligently

  • The intellectual capital necessary to build a sophisticated organization and solve complex problems

  • The social capital required to establish positive, constructive relationships with communities—both locally and globally

  • The financial capital infusion uncommon entrepreneurs deserve, but are so often denied. But the truth is, no business, no matter how great its team or how innovative its product, has ever survived on funds alone. Success depends on all five.

CAPITAL 5.0 IGNORES THE LINES.

We’ve taken apart the traditional models and reassembled BeGood Partners from the ground up to provide what is useful and substantial, ensuring we are able to jointly craft the right solution to bring a vision to life, not what a conventional consultant or investor thinks you need.

In other words, we don’t sit on the sidelines, offer tired advice, or keep to a transactional relationship, but rather work in radical partnership to collectively nurture a vision into reality.

HOW WE DO IT.

Deliberately Small.

Highly Networked.

The best companies expand industries, and sometimes create entirely new ones.

They inspire generations of students to learn emerging skills, with the sudden explosion of fields like data science & machine learning in recent years especially inspiring examples. And any successful business has its own ripple effects: stronger community living standards, new ecosystems of partners and vendors, new supply chains, and so on.

But today’s models of enabling and investing in ideas that could reach these heights are limited.

Today’s demographically narrow cohort of investors, executives, and decision makers—kept so by shifting blame to the so-called “pipeline problem”—remain unable to access new opportunities

The result?

Entire populations have been barred at the gate, with ripple effects that reach from generations of historically excluded founders and groundbreaking ideas, to the communities of workers, consumers, and contributors they represent–from neighborhoods to nations.

  • Over the last 20 years, the U.S. economy has lost up to $16 trillion because of racial gaps between Black and white Americans

  • Should these gaps be closed today, we would add $5 trillion to U.S. GDP within 5 years.

  • Women in the workforce are a critical factor when it comes to maintaining global competitiveness and driving GDP - lack of Gender Parity has already cost us trillions.

  • The COVID-19 pandemic ignited a rapid and precipitous loss of women in the workplace; because no strong counteraction was taken immediately, the U.S. has likely squandered an additional $2.4 trillion.

  • If the U.S. achieved full gender parity, America would gain $19 trillion

Numbers like these are simply too big to truly comprehend, but they paint a clear picture nonetheless: whether you care about justice, the stability of the future, or simply harnessing the next historic opportunity, we have everything to gain by putting trust, equity, inclusion, and belonging first.

Now.

“Excellence is doing a common thing in an uncommon way.”

Booker T. Washington

Justness, n.

  1. The quality or fact of being morally right or equitable; rightfulness; fairness; soundness

  2. The personal or divine quality of being just; integrity.

  3. Conformity to truth

    Also: exactness, precision, accuracy.

Now somewhat uncommon.

Respair, n.

  1. Fresh hope

  2. Recovery from despair

    Origin: formed within English, by derivation

    Etymons: re- prefix, despair, n.

Obsolete or uncommon.

Begood, n.

  1. The beginning, start

Extremely uncommon.

Our Strategy.

We give rise to respair through justness by addressing the root causes of inequity across three strategic pillars.

  • Entrepreneurship & Growth

    Enabling transformation for innovative and disruptive solutions born of the unique perspectives and experiences of historically ignored entrepreneurs

  • Access to Capital

    Meeting courageous and complex ideas with what they need most to build, scale, navigate the the future of work, and thrive in tomorrow’s world–today

  • Generational Wealth

    Minimizing the unknowns of transforming ideas into value that scales with resources, services, and solutions built on decades of lived experience, building wealth equity for all

And yet, for many of us, disadvantage is structural.

And this harms all of us.

Because here’s the truth: inclusion wins. 

  • Likelier to have above average profitability

    when executive teams have strong gender diversity

  • Higher innovation revenues

    when leadership teams reflect the full range of diversity.

  • CAGR outperformance

    When at least 50% of senior leaders are women.

  • Realized exit multiples

    when founders are racially diverse—30% higher than all white founding teams

  • More profitable exits

    when at least 10% of partners at Venture Capital firms are women

We all want true economic freedom and dignity.

We all want to live in a society where all can thrive.

This is within our power to create.

The solution requires addressing the root causes of inequity.

The solution requires starting at the beginning.

Begood Capital was founded on the idea that five forms of capital exist, each of which are essential—and the monetary kind is only one.

Transforming common problems into uncommon solutions

At Begood Capital, we seek underrepresented visionaries and bold technology led solutions—in any size organization—in places Silicon Valley’s gatekeepers have ignored for too long, opening access to resources and sharing capacity with entrepreneurs & communities that have waited far too long to be seen and heard.

We don’t just strategize, we create the conditions for uncommon transformation.

We blur the lines between strategic advisor, execution team, incubator and an investment firm, with extensive resources, support, and an ongoing relationship with every client. Our unique capability set, ranging from a full-service consultancy, an entrepreneurship studio and venture capital investment, allows us to meet you where you are with what you need.

The Uncommon Method

Activate

  • We work in service of bold entrepreneurs and wild ideas–in any size organization–to further our vision.

  • We relentlessly take on present, tactical and strategic business problems, for which we unlock new approaches, craft solutions & programs, and build execution plans with trust, authenticity, and inclusion by design

  • We provide resources, connections, and support at every step, built on decades of lived experience, to minimize the unknowns of bringing an idea into reality

Situate

  • Our expert Restorative AI team understands that prioritizing the full range of the human experience is required in order to build the most advanced, innovative, robust and successful technology-driven solutions

    We pioneered this work at Google; now we’re sharing it with you.

  • Our team works with you to create actionable Restorative AI plans for responsible use of technology across your business. We equip you with everything you need to conduct ongoing fairness evaluations, create transparency reports, and measure not only your performance success, but your societal impact

  • We center the input, voices and experiences of those most impacted in today’s economy, and conduct a deep exploration of the societal landscape, ensuring every problem we address and opportunity we help create has all of the information it needs to make smarter choices, maximize opportunities and minimize harms.

Federate

  • When we work together, you become part of a growing family: a community of entrepreneurs, executives, technologists, equal parts visionary and underestimated, supporting each other at every level.

  • For years, network effects have been the secret to the ruthless growth of companies like Facebook and Google. Today, we’re applying that same power to elevate you—the underrepresented and the uncommon—to new heights, along with the communities you come from.

  • Because our uncommon networks create new ecosystems, we not only open the doors you need, we get you a seat at the tables that matter

Elevate

  • You are a visionary in every sense of the term, underestimated and underappreciated for too long, ready to release shockwaves of opportunity in every direction.

  • Your vision deserves to be seen, heard, believed and known. We’ve been where you are; we know what it takes to tell your story. We can help you get there.

  • We take a measured, deliberate approach when taking on projects, and choose our clients with as much care as you choose us. And because we work exclusively with uncommon visionaries we’re certain have what it takes to change the world, we’re committed to you for the long haul, helping you build companies, create programs, and tell your story.

    Collectively, the value we create and the stories we tell trigger broad waves of opportunity that affect entire communities: cities, ecosystems of businesses, and entirely new industries.

The Opportunity.

Unleashing a new world of potential, from creators to consumers.

And when it’s an idea initiated and run by members of a historically excluded group, those benefits redound to their community, building power and creating equity.

In other words, working with Begood Capital is about more than financial success—it’s a chance to unleash ripples of opportunity towards every horizon.
