Our story
In pursuit of business that benefits the common good—and the bottom line
Eric Ries, entrepreneur, author, and founder of LTSE, saw a problem: today’s financial market forces businesses to prioritize short-term gains over everything else, generating volatility and preventing businesses from serving anyone but their shareholders.
Better business requires a system that incentivizes better practices, so Eric created LTSE, an ecosystem where serving multiple stakeholders—from local communities to the environment— is not only possible, but rewarded. LTSE empowers companies to make decisions that benefit the world, ultimately fostering a new financial system that generates value for all.

Our principles
A revolutionary set of SEC-approved principles
Principles are what differentiate LTSE from all other listing or trading venues. They provide the framework for your company to build a set of standards and policies that reflect who you are and how you want to be viewed by the world. Filed with and approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), these principles reflect innovative corporate governance, and drive a long-term focus.
Broad Accountability
Long-term focused companies should consider a broader group of stakeholders and the critical role they play in one another’s success.
Future-Focus
Long-term focused companies should measure success in years and decades and prioritize long-term decision-making.
Principled Compensation
Long-term focused companies should align executive compensation and board compensation with long-term performance.
Shared Vision
Boards of directors of long-term focused companies should be engaged in and have explicit oversight of long-term strategy.
Shareholder Engagement
Long-term focused companies should engage with their long-term shareholders.
