The Garden Street Way
The Garden Street Way is a mindset of total value-creation achieved through enduring and resonating intellectual, societal and capital growth. The essence of this firm is realized through an applied methodology of knowledge design and knowledge creation which allows our member-students a recognition and realization of unique personal interests, ambitions and aspirations. When combined with their own unique intellectual skill-set these yield a path to greater personal enrichment, self-actualization and a professional existence which is idiosyncractic, accomplished and simultaneously enhances the quality of life for fellow inhabitants of our global commonwealth. This is realized through the promotion of such standards and ideals as egalitarianism, democracy, free trade, human rights, multilateralism and the preservation and respect of individual liberties.
These objectives are achieved, in part, through the allocation and growth of private capital within the investment partnership side of Garden Street which establishes growth-oriented equity ownership positions in strong, sound and transparent value-creating domestic (U.S.) companies.
Garden Street is of the mindset that when optimized, the limited liability corporation has dual imperatives: profit-seeking behavior and the creation of public value. In most circumstances the corporation as an institution will generate adequate social value merely by realizing a profit and staying within the law. It is our purpose to develop a more dynamic, resonating model which over time maximizes the effective relationship between successful profit-seeking behavior and the constructive social externalities which can result.
These two methodologies create a synergy which yields an ecosystem of enlightened and involved individuals, an exclusive array of benefactors, investors and students, which embodies the ethos of this institution. An ecosystem of exceptional minds and personalities, all of whom identify with our philosophy, process and expected outcomes and who demonstrate in the aspirations of their various life missions, exceptional abilities of thought, learned curiosity and a desire to be a part of something larger than themselves. We then invest for those who demonstrate the greatest likelihood of creating long-term enduring value, whether that be for a private client whose capital growth aspirations yield positive and benevolent intellectual, social change or in our member-students who display aspirations and abilities of thought which contribute to the resonating butterfly effect this institution will achieve.
We are designed and determined to be an ornament of American business and western civilization.
