Investment thesis

Altos Ventures seeks philosophical alignment with founders it likens to 'Hedgehogs' — entrepreneurs who commit to one business, obsessively measure and track it, and stay with it for the long term rather than chasing many strategies like 'Foxes.' The firm values determination, dedication, conservatism, and long-term commitment, noting it has backed some companies for over a decade. It contrasts serial, well-connected, capital-raising Foxes who thrive in bubbles with bootstrapping Hedgehogs who endure downturns, arguing that focused, persistent founders ultimately build enduring, great companies.
