Investment Thesis

Beyond’s investment philosophy centers on ‘value-add’ that extends far beyond capital deployment. They believe the strongest venture returns require diverse portfolios and that most companies receive little tangible value from their investors. Their core approach is to incentivize LPs to contribute their talent and network alongside capital, creating a network effect where portfolio companies gain access to high-caliber talent previously inaccessible, while LPs generate additional ownership and returns through strategic contributions.

What Sets Them Apart

Bounties mechanism: Beyond reinvests carry into outcome-based bounties that LPs and founders can fulfill, with rewards structured as a combination of carry, credits, or equity
LP incentivization structure: Direct economic incentives for LPs to contribute expertise and network by earning additional equity from successful bounty completion
Founder portfolio building: Enables founders to build diversified venture portfolios rather than remain undiversified in their own company equity, with auto-reinvestment toward 25% IRR targets
Network expansion multiplier: LPs are incentivized to refer relevant individuals in their networks to fulfill bounties, exponentially expanding the accessible talent pool
Referral economy for founders: Founders earn 20% of Beyond's carry and 10% commission on bounties by referring companies and LPs
