SpaceX exemplifies proentropic investing: Musk pushes physics-bound probabilities to the edge, pursuing low-probability/high-expected-value outcomes like rocket reusability.
Valor evolved from industrial turnaround operator using theory of constraints/lean manufacturing into a tech investor that applies operational expertise to help portfolio companies scale, focusing on high ROIC and proentropic founders.
Valor bought Tesla's Fremont factory from GM bankruptcy for pennies on the dollar, repurposing stranded industrial capital into EV production — a classic proentropic move benefiting from chaos.
