The New Wave Venture Opening Brief

“Death is inevitable. It will come for us all. And that inevitability robs death entirely of its significance. What matters are the things that are not inevitable. The things we create. The things we find. The left we take when everything in our life is leading us right. How we live.”

Dear Creator,

We’ve always known this time would come.

A new wave.

We’ve felt the fear and hope that come simultaneously with change.

It’s never been about the products or the profits for people like us. Those are just the means to an end. They’re the way we build character, gain wisdom, and connect — connect to ideas, to others, and to ourselves.

The journey we’re on? It’s one only we can choose to take. But we’re not alone. There are others like us, standing at the edge, asking themselves the same impossible questions. Others committed to the process of becoming.

In the weeks ahead, this brief will become a place to find guidance & comfort. Together, we’ll explore the connections and underlying links that shape us into the founders, inventors, & creators we are destined to become. Nothing is off the table. We’ll talk personal habits, values, risk tolerance, strategy, emotional regulation, mental health - everything that shapes us into the creators we are. The things nobody wants to discuss, like balancing confidence with humility or vision with execution, are all up for debate.

This isn’t one of those “everyone gets a ribbon for showing up” types of ventures. The challenge is in the self-reflection. It’s in the ability to take what you read and actually change and implement those ideas in the days that follow. It’s in feeling the losses, embracing the failures, and accepting the chaos that comes with uncertainty.

Our focus? The infinite connections between who we are and the impact we make. This is a space filled with shared insights, questions, and tools to help us uncover our unique path to success—a place designed to help us connect the dots.

So here’s to the start of an adventure—one we’ll navigate together, week by week. One where it’s not about having all the answers. It’s about learning, evolving, and, most importantly, creating.

With vision, purpose, & appreciation,

Brooke Sherwood

CEO & Founder
