Liberty Ventures

Investing in a freer future. The greatest companies are founded by leaders committed to the principles of capitalism and liberty. Supporting @principledbus.

[Liberty Ventures @liberty_ven]

Most political arguments about capitalism skip the part that actually matters to investors.
In a market, nobody has to work for you, buy from you, supply you, or own your shares.
That constraint is not a moral talking point. It is the cash-flow statement.
A company only gets paid if customers keep choosing it. Employees can leave. Suppliers can walk. Shareholders can sell.
Government does not operate under that constraint. Markets do.
When we diligence founders, we are looking for people who understand that difference in their bones: they cannot extract their way to a durable business. They have to create something someone will voluntarily keep paying for.
That is how values show up in an investment process without replacing investment discipline.

@RetentionAdam put it plainly.

“I like the control of not having any voices at the table other than the people who are managing the business. The customer is who we answer to, and our employees. That’s it.”

He said the incentive is wildly different. The entrepreneur is spending a life on this thing. Even a great investor is playing a portfolio game. Someone on the cap table who has to be off it in X years is a voice that does not live inside the company.

Who we want to control the next great company is the person who answers to the customer, not to a clock.

#2 in America on the Fourth of July.

Young Washington was not a streaming drop. It was a theatrical opening. Angel’s largest live-action weekend, second only to David. 2.6 million Guild members paid to vote on what gets made, then showed up.

That is a studio that treats the audience as owners of the story, not as inventory.

We support founders who let values-aligned people pick the work, then put it on a real screen.

$40 BILLION A YEAR!!

OpenAI’s paying customer is no longer mainly the person at home. CFO Sarah Friar told investors on August 14 that enterprise is now the majority of revenue. Business customers grew 32% in July. Her line: they have moved from tokenmaxxing to cost per unit of intelligence.

That is the achievement. Not another chatbot. A product companies put on the payroll.

We support founders who get paid by people who have something to run.

Certification is slow. Demand for power is not.

@bscholl did not wait for the airplane. While Overture is still being certified, the same engine core is going to power AI data centers. Crusoe ordered 29 Superpower turbines, 42 megawatts each, waterless. His line: that order funds the engine and the airliner. The book is 130 aircraft, including United, American, and Japan Airlines.

That is a founder who will sell power to pay for speed. Private enterprise funding the next leap, not a grant.

We support founders who build the cash engine and the dream on the same core.

If you want evidence that capitalism is a force for good, just visit a grocery store.

Saving time is saving money.

@claudeai is now the default inside Slack, where the work already lives. Salesforce is running it on itself first. Slackbot on Claude is giving their own people 8.1 million hours a year back. Then they are handing that same assistant to every team that lives in Slack.

That is a founder who will put intelligence next to real people, with real customer history, and let it run. Not a demo. The company.

We support founders who treat intelligence as a tool for builders.

Capitalism is still the greatest force for good, if the right people are running the companies.

Our network exists so values-aligned founders and investors can see each other clearly. Insights, not a pitch for a specific deal.

We are not only asking who will build the next billion-dollar business. We also ask who we want to control it.

Founders who understand free markets tend to build for customers, not for fashion. That is the type of founder we support.

Jeff Bezos: “If I do my job right, the value to society and civilization from my for-profit companies will be much, much larger than the good that I do with my charitable giving.”

Bill Ackman made the same case this month: you create far more jobs through capitalism than through philanthropy.

We support founders who build. Sign up to Liberty Ventures to learn more.

Peter Thiel’s point in Zero to One still holds: the interesting founders don’t just compete inside a market that already exists. They build something that wasn’t there.

That is the difference between copying and creating. Those are the founders we support.

BBC put a plasma tunnel-boring robot on the map.

EarthGrid CEO Troy Helming told BBC that lighting the torches is “kind of like igniting a rocket.” A January granite test bored three metres. Hard-tech infrastructure, underground.

@bscholl said the first Symphony engine is in final assembly, “a few weeks away from that thing running for the first time.” That’s founder commentary, not a press release.

He has also said he read Atlas Shrugged as a freshman and has been passionate about private enterprise and economic liberty ever since.

The data to train a general-purpose robot does not live on the internet. It has to come from the real world.

Figure came out of stealth with Index, a paid app that collects household and workplace video for Helix. The company says 264k downloads, 16M+ videos, and $15M paid to creators so far.

Claude is moving from chatbot to the system that actually runs the work.

Salesforce and Anthropic announced Claudeforce: Salesforce inside Claude, Claude as default across Slack and Agentforce. Dario Amodei: point Claude at the customer context companies have spent decades building, “and use it to actually run and grow their businesses.”

SpaceX is preparing to build a spaceport that, until now, has only existed in science fiction.

That’s Elon Musk on Starbase Louisiana: a planned $100B Starship site in Vermilion Parish. Construction is slated for 2027, with a first launch targeted for 2029.

Congratulations to @ZachBDell and the Base Power team on their continued momentum.

Base Power is helping expand America's energy infrastructure through continued investment in battery technology and manufacturing. Recent milestones include plans for a $265 million battery manufacturing facility near Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, the deployment of more than 100 MWh of residential battery capacity, and expansion beyond Texas into additional states.

It's exciting to see innovative companies investing in domestic manufacturing while building technologies that strengthen the resilience of the electric grid.

Congratulations to Jake Guglin and the Foundation Alloy team on this exciting milestone.

Foundation Alloy recently announced a definitive distribution partnership with Kanematsu Corporation, expanding access to its advanced materials for industrial customers across Japan and Southeast Asia.

It's encouraging to see innovative manufacturing companies continue to scale through strategic global partnerships and bring new technologies to international markets.

William Krut spends his days doubting his own instincts. He calls it bias, not a dirty word, but the compass that lets a VC chase a deal instead of drowning in noise.

His point is simple. You need an objective to hunt with. But the moment your pattern becomes a rule, like Jobs and Wozniak as the only founder archetype, you stop looking for who might actually be right.

He believes the best investors hold their assumptions loosely. Check them. Question them. Stay open to the founder who breaks the mold.

For investors interested in connecting with the Liberty Ventures network and following the founders, companies, and ideas shaping the future.
