At Telescope, every investment matters. We believe that building companies that change markets takes time, focus, and unwavering partnership. Our job is to offer relevant advice and bespoke support to each of the founders we partner with, helping them navigate the journey with insight, experience, and empathy.
Being CEO doesn’t mean you have to do it alone.
An investment from Telescope is a commitment of our time. Our objective is to understand who you are, what gets you excited about the opportunity, what’s happening in your market, and what makes you unique. You are the expert at your business, we are here to help you navigate the challenges inherent in building it.
The difference between good and great is massive.
We believe that excellent entrepreneurs are driven by the idea that good enough is never good enough. The transition from a good company to a great one often comes down to discrete moments that have a ripple effect on your business tomorrow.
Perspective is everything.
Every decision you make has an opportunity cost; learning what NOT to do is often as important as learning what works. With a broad view of your market and a focused view of your company, Telescope enables you to make the hard decisions with better data — leading to optimal growth and ultimate outcomes.
Pace.
The pace at every company is different, with ebbs and flows at every stage of building it. Answering the tough questions can save headaches down the line.
- What is too fast or too slow given my market and company today?
- Where is the friction today? Where will the friction evolve?
- Who am I competing with? Who will I compete with?
People.
Winning organizations have high-performance cultures that engage and inspire their employees. Finding and keeping the right team is imperative to future success.

Process.
With possibilities come distractions. Honing in on your business model, your go-to-market strategy, and even the right employees are crucial in optimizing the long-term outcome for your company.
