I am the Founder of Enduring Ventures, a long-term holding company. We buy beautiful businesses and hold them forever.

We have a deep respect for our fellow business founders because we were founders ourselves.

We know just how much time, hard work, and struggle goes into building a company that customers love and keep coming back to.

Having invested in companies, sold companies and raised funding, we have seen the costs of the short-term mindset of private equity and venture capital up close. We wanted to do something fundamentally different.

Following the inspiration of Berkshire Hathaway, we decided to build the company that we would want to buy the companies we started.

One that would hold it forever instead of selling it to the highest bidder. 

One that would take care of our employees and create opportunities for them to grow wealth if the business grows. 

One that would mentor our next generation of leaders. 

One that would give our business the time it needs to grow (or simply stay the right size) at whatever pace is right for it. 

That company is Enduring Ventures.

Founder

If you want to improve your writing and storytelling, I urge you to read some fiction.

Not necessarily for the prose but for the structure required to move you through a story.

- Cause & effect
- Intention & obstacle
- Hooks & cliffhangers

The internal logic builds the foundation of a great story, and it’s worth reverse engineering and trying to apply the ideas to your work.

PS. I talk about this stuff every week with 112k readers: nathanbaugh.substack.com

Ghostwriter. Exploring the art and science of storytelling. Debut fantasy novel sometime ~soon.

Here’s the problem with attribution:

1. I know of a business because I’ve followed the founder for years on twitter

2. Convo with friends around the topic

3. I don’t have link, so go to google to get link - accidentally hit sponsored link

4. Send link anyway

5. Friend applies for membership - it’ll be a low five figure a year thing

6. Business will see he clicked through Google ad

7. Attribute lead to Google ads

Reader, the Google ad did nothing, the twitter account did everything, and attribution will show the opposite.

Wonder how often this happens
