At Weatherford Capital, we care deeply about people. We don’t seek investors; we pursue meaningful relationships. We don’t have portfolio companies; we forge long-term partnerships. We don't manage people; we serve great leaders as they build healthy company cultures. Our commitment to relationships, teamwork, process, learning, and impact is the bedrock of The Weatherford Way.

The Way of Relationships

Weatherford Capital’s driving principles place the highest value on relationships, and lasting relationships are anchored in trust. Thus, we prioritize the character and competence to earn that trust. A deep respect for our team, investors, and portfolio company leaders inspire us to leave it all out on the field. The foundation of our success is that we value people before profit. Relationships are not a means to an end but rather an end in themselves. 

The Way of Teamwork

In our experience, the best teams win. Countless years of competitive team sports and supporting one another through difficult life decisions have taught us this. Building Weatherford Capital together has cemented it. We partner with visionary leaders with domain expertise in their respective fields and sound business models with high growth potential. Together, we build world-class teams and businesses that create opportunities to positively impact the world. 

The Way of Process

As a team, we strive to be process-oriented, not outcome-oriented. Our goals are not entirely set on deals won but about our ability as a team to do the right thing – to execute our strategy, perform at the highest standard, and meet our collective potential. We remain focused and disciplined,  avoid distractions and keep our eyes trained on the fundamentals that drive day-to-day progress. We focus not on doing one exceptional thing in a moment but on doing the fundamentals consistently well. 

The Way of Learning

Teams who experience sustained success understand that success is a moment, not a continuum. We will not win every deal, but we know that there is almost always more to learn from a loss than a win; both are contagious. We also strive to acknowledge our successes without being charmed by them, recognizing the temporal nature of each one. Win or lose, we approach our work with the same resolve, humility, and determination to engage the fundamentals that make the process work. 

The Way of Impact

Together we strive to seek justice in all that we do while exemplifying humility and kindness with all whose paths we cross. We are committed to stewarding our financial, intellectual, and social capital well for the common good in our communities. We love helping people achieve their full potential. This is why we partner with those who share our values, our convictions, and our deep desire to have a positive and lasting impact in the world. We believe that we are called to love people and to steward the gifts and abilities we have been given. As a concrete expression, each Weatherford brother is committed to allocating more than 10% of his GP carry to charity.
