LIFE AT VOLITION
We are all here to make a big impact on the world around us. But big impact always starts small.
It’s in little choices we make every moment of every day. We expect our people – no matter what role they play at our firm – to make an impact in and through their day-to-day work. Each of them contributes to the profound impact we strive to make as Volition Capital.
CORE VALUES
At the center of everything we do is our Core Values:
Work Hard
Work Hard
We subscribe to the notion that you can out-hustle the competition with an old-school work ethic and elbow grease. But that doesn’t mean we take ourselves too seriously. We joke and laugh as much as we roll up our sleeves to hustle and grind. So, bring your A-Game. And your sense of humor.
Think Inspired
Think Inspired
Out-of-the-box ideas fuel us. We ask – no, we expect – everyone at our firm to throw “commodity thinking” out the window. We leave room for anyone – no matter how junior or new – to take the floor if they have something worthwhile to share. Volition Capital is a safe space to be wrong. It’s a safe space to grow. We only ask that you think inspired.
Business is Human
Business is Human
Our product is not capital. It’s people. Therefore, we strive to make business human. It’s a quality that makes us exceptional in our industry. We are transparent, genuine, and honest. And we make no room for pretension, disrespect, or pointy elbows. And we plan to keep it that way. We put people first. And we expect everyone in our organization to do the same without exception.
Take Smart Risks
Take Smart Risks
We love to win. Equally, we hate to lose. While we didn’t get to where we are by always playing it safe, we believe there’s a time and place for risks. However, risking a founder’s hard-earned success or entire life savings is not our playbook for winning. We win by taking smart risks with an acute focus on downside protection – for our founders and for us.
Go for Great
Go for Great
Successful people at Volition go for great, not just good enough. We have high expectations of ourselves – not because of external pressure or motivation. It’s because we’re a group of low-key competitive type-A’s, and we’re not shy about it. We love to win. We hate to lose. We aim for exceptional every time.
Embrace Opposites
Embrace Opposites
Volition was built on the notion that competing ideas make us stronger. That there’s magic in the balance between opposing forces:
Laser focus, meet clever creativity.
Consensus, get comfortable with conviction.
Risk-seeking, share space with risk-averse.
Our ability to find harmony in polarity puts us in a unique position: we can help founders go after their dreams without risking them.

OUR MISSION
We consider it our job to get you there. We provide founders with the tools, resources, partnership and pattern recognition so they can build their strategic, operational and leadership success.
Grow with a shared vision
When we invest in a company, we’re also committing to a vision for the future that’s shared with founders and their management teams. Our investment strategy is designed specifically to keep us all aligned: $5 Million – $50 million investment; Growth Capital/Shareholder Liquidity; Board Position; Meaningful minority ownership stake.
Grow with personal support
Leading a company is a tough task with major physical and mental demands. We support the whole person in their journey through growth with no-B.S. programs, people and advisors who understand the unique challenges that come with growing a business.
Grow with strategic insight
At Volition there’s no single playbook or definition of success. We tailor our strategic and operational support to each of our founder’s ambitions and company. Drawing on experience, pattern recognition and ideas from leading minds, we help to draw a roadmap that’s your-company-specific.
Grow with network access
Having access to the right person at the right time can be transformative for any business leader. But, it’s particularly critical when they’re growing and scaling a business. When our portfolio companies need introductions – whatever that might look like – we take action personally.
