🦄 Kepler 16 - a technology venture firm, inspired by software engineering principals. Focussed on high growth startups, we build expert teams to tackle ambitious opportunities, solve hard problems and engineer businesses that scale. Kepler 16 is relationship focused, remote first and structured as a global network of talented individuals and key partners.

Mission

• Have an outsized impact on the world
• Build for the collective good
• Build excitement for the future (technology jumps)
• Order of magnitude improvements in technology

Model

• Clear precise thinking can lead to amazing shortcuts
  • Chasing simplicity
  • Composable abstractions
• Invest behind tooling
• Shared infrastructure

How we approach problems

Our two KPI's for measuring our ability to deliver software are

1. How rapidly are we able to deliver something new?
2. How far can that solution scale before falling over?

Our strategy for hitting these is centred around

• Precise Engineering - research and careful thought in search of simple, powerful primitives
• Pragmatic Futurism - balance cutting edge with stability
• Simplicity - simplicity is a prerequisite of scale
• Repeatable - focus on building shared, reusable knowledge, tooling and libraries
• Low Friction Tools - enable thought and idea experimentation
• Rapid Prototyping - tangible communication is powerful

Building leverage with well designed, simple libraries and primitives is key to our strategy for rapid delivery and tackling complexity.
