Our
Philosophy

More than simply value allocators, we are value creators.

We believe that ideas alone are not enough; potential is made tangible only through execution. We believe early stage success is as much science as it is art. Tomorrow exists within today’s effort, and our efforts are improved by yesterday’s learnings. We are building on decades of combined entrepreneurial experience to innovate smarter, more responsibly, and with a better future in mind.

Patterns of value are all around us, in both the ventures that go on to change everything, as well as those that never quite make it off the ground. At Philo, we are paying attention. Nimble, knowledgeable, and willing to get our hands dirty, we are creating a new blueprint for starting from scratch - one that relies on experience, rigorous insight, and good old fashioned effort.

Executing intentionally on our ideas and yours

Philo studio exists to turn the would-be chaos of new beginnings into order through proven, repeatable processes and the dedicated attention of functional early-stage experts.

Capital comes in many forms, all critical to the early success of a startup. As a team of serial entrepreneurs, we’ve created a cocktail of human, experiential, social and financial capital to take the guesswork out of what makes a company go.

A new kind of cofounder

The road from zero to one is paved with strong partnerships. We work with companies and founders at any point along the way to drive viability and long-term value.

Our internally incubated companies follow the same formula as those that find us. We’re always looking for entrepreneurial-types to take the driver’s seat.

Building the world we want to live in.

From raw dirt to sustainably-built properties, Philo specializes in greenfield development. Our mission is to build the world we want for the future by identifying the highest and best use for each property.

We regularly partner with landowners to move from entitlement to development, optimizing each project for future residents. Our scope of work includes single-family and multi-family residential, hospitality, commercial and any other projects that can benefit from our social and environmentally additive approach to development.  

There’s no project too messy for Philo. Looking for a development partner? Get in touch with our properties team.
