My partner and I have been trying to practice patient capital by investing in a social enterprise that employs formerly incarcerated people, but it's been five years and they're still struggling financially while asking for more capital. We believe in the mission but we're not sure if continuing to invest is patient or just denial, and we haven't been honest with each other about whether we're throwing good money after bad or giving up too early on something important.
More people experience this than they realize.
Two people face the difficult boundary between principled long-term thinking and recognizing when an investment isn't working.
