About

We know what it takes to build before the market believes.

Investment approach

Thesis
AI is rewriting how companies capture value and build durable advantage. Moats built in software alone - workflow, distribution - are eroding; those embedded in data, trust, regulation and physical systems are hardening. No single advantage is enough on its own: the strongest companies will be built where several combine and compound. We back founders that understand this evolution and seek to solve the hardest problems, taking technical decisions to reach a position competitors cannot easily replicate.Source (opens in a new tab)
