Origins of the Intrepid List

Our goal was to create a structured process of evaluating and offering credit to the investors furthering democracy. For many, this credit is long overdue, given the work that they have done through principled investing attempting to counter rogue states subvert the capital markets. The individual investors, and firms, who have taken principled stances, using capital as a means of enhancing America’s innovation ecosystem and those of our global allies deserve more respect far greater than mere placement on a list. But this is a start.

As such, this list reflects a select few of the important participants in a broader national movement to preserve, protect and defend the principles of free and fair democratic markets. The honorees all have a track-record of investing to uphold such values. Their contributions are numerous, from investing in companies to combat global threats to acting as silent observers watchful for the continued threat of bad actors infiltrating and undermining the implied contract between participants in the free and open capitalistic ecosystem for surreptitious purposes.
