Tedium Ventures
Boredom creates unusual companies.
We
build
and
back
them
01 — Why Tedium
Most people avoid boredom. We don’t. That’s where ideas begin.
A venture studio for unusual companies. The theory of the firm, in three doodles:
Boredom, on purpose.
Nothing to do, nowhere to be. The mind, unsupervised, starts to wander.
→
Experiments, constantly.
Wandering minds poke at things. Most pokes go nowhere. Good — that’s the method.
→
Unusual companies.
Every so often, a poke refuses to stop working. We help it become a business.

03 — What we believe
Pause.
Observe.
Wonder.
Experiment.
Repeat
Start with the first one: do nothing for sixty seconds.
That’s the whole exercise. It’s harder than it sounds.
