Providing valuable social capital.
Concrete Rose-backed entrepreneurs gain access to the Concrete Rose Network of operators and investors who have built some of the world’s most significant companies. These Network Partners commit their social capital — serving as coaches, co-creators, and super-connectors — to supercharge our founders’ vision.
50% commitment. What you build will have generational impact.
We’re committed to building a virtuous cycle of wealth and opportunity for people who have been historically overlooked or explicitly excluded. Key to this commitment is our pledge of 50% of our carry to organizations closing opportunity gaps for underrepresented talent in America through the Concrete Rose Community Foundation. Together with our founders, we collectively create value that directly impacts the greater community.
