Literal: Characterised by or reflective of a positive outlook on the future, believing that the best possible outcome will happen.
Contextual: When you've got more faith in your startup's future than a kid in a candy store. It's the entrepreneurial spirit that sees the glass as not just half full, but overflowing, no matter how many investors say otherwise.
Balanced Perspective: While their optimism fuels their drive, they also navigate with a compass of cautious pessimism, strategic cynicism, and a dash of paranoia. This balance ensures they're not just dreamers but pragmatic visionaries who prepare for every twist and turn. They celebrate their optimism, but their strategy meetings echo with 'what ifs,' reflecting a readiness for unexpected challenges.

Optimistic Capital /ˌɒp.tɪˈmɪs.tɪk ˈkæp.ɪ.tl/
Literal Definition:
Capital that is invested with patient, hopeful and positive outlook on the future success of a venture, particularly in the early stages of a company's growth. It’s the kind of investment that come from belief in first principles of scaling on the potential of a small business in a very large market and the human beings behind it, beyond just the numbers on a spreadsheet.
Expanded Contextual Definition:
In the grand chess game of business and life, capital is not just the coins in our treasury but also the knights and bishops of our strategy. It encompasses human capital (the skills, knowledge, and expertise of the people that we have access to), social capital (the networks, relationships, and social interactions that facilitate opportunities and collaboration), and more.
While optimism fuels drive, it is also important to navigate with a compass of cautious pessimism, strategic cynicism, and a dash of paranoia. This balance ensures we're not just dreamers but pragmatic visionaries who prepare for every twist and turn. We celebrate optimism, but our meetings echo with 'what ifs,' reflecting a readiness for the unknown.
Usage:
"Did you hear about that super cool coffee company in Bangalore? They just got a round of Optimistic Capital. Now they're all set to turn their coffee grounds into money and magic."

Get the Optimistic Capitalmug. The great debate between the people who think communism is when the government does stuff and who think capitalism is when oversimplified logo and people who think that communism is when poor and capitalism is when rich.
Overall, the capitalists tend to win because the communists genuinely think that capitalism somehow directly made logos oversimplified, but none of them deserve to win and they both should block every social media except YouTube and say "do not recommend channel" whenever they see a political video to the YouTube algorithmic method of determining if you wish to watch a video or would instead prefer to watch the funny rat video.

Get the capitalism vs communismmug. The unofficial economic system of Malaysia that punishes all companies, foreign or home grown that operate in the country for activities or incidents that offend the delicate sensibilities of Malaysians in areas such as religion that are wholly unrelated to the quality of goods and services provided by these businesses.
A: I would like to introduce my home-made family owned coffee business, here is our logo, it depicts Zeus and his lightning bolt, because we deliver our coffee to your doorstep as fast as lightning--
B: OMG, how dare you do this...
A: What? Is it something I said--
B: How dare you depict a false pagan god on your logo? Don't you know there is ONLY ONE TRUE GOD???

Get the capitalismmug. A system of government where only the wealthy are allowed to have a say in political matters. You're basically paying to rent the talking stick for a while, but the policies on how even that works are vague and flowery at best.
I love capitalism! It allows me, as a rich middle-aged white man, to come together with like-minded entrepreneurs and develop a system that truly benefits us. God bless America!
