Venture capitalInvestment thesis
Public Works is an ecosystem fund centered on open source software and public goods, backing builders who create essential public infrastructure. It holds that code can be both sustainable and generative for the communities it serves. Rather than relying on centralized institutions to provision shared resources, the fund supports decentralized systems that allow communities to coordinate around 21st century challenges and rely on one another, treating public goods as inherently valuable.
