Why 1890?

1890 was a pivotal year in American history. Since America's founding, moving westward to the unsettled frontier has always been the calling of those seeking new destinies and possibilities.In 1890, the U.S. Census declared that the frontier was finished, and no more land grants awaited those who made the difficult journey across the continent. Historians, most notably Frederick Jackson Turner, declared, "The frontier has gone, and with its going has closed the first period of American history."In the era that followed, entrepreneurs utilized technological and industrial advances, from steel to flight to the Model T, which took us to the moon and launched the digital age. We are now beginning a new frontier: the AI revolution, and we want to channel that same ethos into building the enduring companies of tomorrow.
