What if you could rethink entire categories from the ground up?
In this special edition of SVRN Symposium, we’re exploring First Principles as a mental model for investors and founders looking to create outsized value—and avoid conventional traps.
We’re joined by Misha Mikailian, 8x founder and CEO of Geoship, a company applying First Principles to reimagine one of the most entrenched industries in the world: housing.
From evaluating early-stage companies to guiding portfolio breakthroughs, First Principles is quickly becoming a must-have lens for anyone operating at the edge of innovation.
You’ll learn:
How First Principles thinking helps uncover hidden whitespace & overlooked markets
How to apply it in investment sourcing, founder evaluation, and category design
Why most strategies fail to escape incrementalism—and how to break that pattern
A behind-the-scenes case study: how Geoship is using First Principles to build 500-year homes and unlock a new class of homeownership
