How we work

Decades, Not Days

We’re long-term minded. That is apparent in everything we do — the companies we choose to operate, the way we treat people, the decisions we make, the way we show up. Our word is our bond and legacy is our guide.

Relentlessly Curious

This is a place for the intellectually curious. The people that aren’t satisfied with good enough. We love the work we do, we think creatively, and question the status quo. The way it’s been done isn’t necessarily the way it needs to be done.

Simply Transparent

We operate with radical honesty and don’t overcomplicate. We believe in turning on the lights to expose the facts and distilling down complicated things to simple actions. Bureaucracy kills and movement is our version of perfection.

Fully Autonomous

We are built with people that are great at what they do and focus on the work. Curious is a place that allows them to fully realize that potential. We believe in our individual expertise and operate with earned trust as a core belief.

Once Curious, Always Curious

Our people make us, both at head office and at our portfolio companies. We know that. Every person that joins us is always part of the Curious family, while they're here, and more importantly, long after.

Mountain Climbers

We seek out adversity and lean into challenging situations. We care more about the quality of a person than their pedigree. We're underdogs. We love the journey more than the destination and constantly seek new mountains to climb.
