Meet Paul Hemings - decades across investment banking, healthcare, and boardrooms distilled into five rules he never breaks:
Know the founder - deeply. Never invest without clarity on the person, their motivations, pressures, and cap table realities.
Follow the incentives. Alignment on governance, economics, and decision rights - or expect drift.
Plan the exit early. Map options (strategic, sponsor-to-sponsor, IPO) and build toward them from day one.
Respect execution risk. As a 2x founder, he’s seen how operational complexity compounds fast - plan accordingly.
Never compromise on trust. Character, transparency, and follow-through are non-negotiable.
