Helping founders build their life’s work
Most great companies don’t begin with a perfect plan. They begin with founders who believe things can be built better and who are driven to build it.
New Bearing partners with exceptional founders committed to that journey. Combining long‑term partnership, deep operating and strategic experience, and the resources required to build enduring organizations, we help entrepreneurs to build their life’s work.
Because when progress compounds over time, extraordinary outcomes become possible.
A new vision for building enduring businesses
Making the extraordinary possible.
As lifelong operators and founders ourselves, we know exactly what it takes. We work side by side with our partners on everything from the biggest strategic decisions to the day-to-day implementation of a business system for extraordinary success.
Our approach is grounded in the belief that deciding what are the most vital things to do (and not to do) and then getting them right separates the best organizations from others—helping ensure each chapter sets the stage for the next.
Mitch Rales — The Founder’s Founder
Since he co-founded Danaher Corporation with his brother Steven over four decades ago, Mitch has demonstrated how powerful the compounding of continuous improvements can be in building lasting success. During this time, they have built Danaher from a small industrial tools company into a global innovation leader across life sciences, diagnostics, and technology.
At the heart of Mitch’s philosophy is a simple belief: when talented people are aligned around strong systems, focused processes and a culture of continuous improvement, extraordinary outcomes follow.
Mitch founded New Bearing with his team to help the next generation of founders build their life’s work.

The meaning of New Bearing
In navigation, a bearing determines direction.
Great organizations are rarely built in a straight line. They evolve through learning, discovery, and course correction as founders strengthen their organizations and refine their strategy—but this isn’t easy to do alone. New Bearing exists to help founders continually find their direction.
Together, we compound the extraordinary
Our vision is to partner with exceptional founders building world‑class organizations that improve lives and endure for generations.
Because compounding is not just a financial idea.
It is how extraordinary organizations are built.
