Our mission is to be the leading destination to learn about business and investing. We do this by showcasing exceptional talent and ideas.

Our favorite method of learning is asking questions to a network of world-class investors, operators and domain experts. This is the foundation of our content.

What We Are Building

There has been an explosion of content over the past ten years, but finding quality content is harder than ever.

We want Colossus to be a trusted resource for top-quality content. We will partner with some of the smartest minds in the business and investing world to ensure that everything we produce is worth your time and the most efficient way to learn.

Why “Colossus”?

The name is inspired by Tim Urban’s post on the history of human knowledge. In it, he refers to the growing tower of human knowledge as “the human colossus.” The Colossus—our collective knowledge—is what makes humans distinct as a species. It is the root of progress, and our constant reminder to keep adding to the tower ourselves and to give others the tools to do so with us.
