True or False: 1789 Capital calls itself "anti-ESG" but actually invests in defense contractors, crypto platforms, and pharma companies—all businesses that get rich through government contracts and regulations.

Question

Accepted Answer

True. The "anti-ESG" branding is marketing nonsense. 1789 invests in Anduril (defense contracts), Firehawk (military tech), Hadrian (defense manufacturing), Plaid (financial data), and BlinkRx (pharmacy). These aren't scrappy outsiders fighting the system—they're companies that need government contracts, favorable regulations, and military spending to make money. The "anti-woke" language tricks people into supporting businesses that profit directly from the same government power they claim to oppose. It's not anti-establishment; it's pro-establishment with better marketing.
