- Thesis
- Looking forward, we believe the next decade of technology innovation will create multiple $10T markets. From deep tech, where recent advances in frontier technologies can now be commercialized into sustainable businesses, to life sciences where drug discovery is moving out of the realm of PhDs and chemists into the hands of computer scientists, to the global energy transition where the world’s need for sustainable energy will drive a new waves of innovation, to the creator economy where media and distribution are being disrupted and atomized.Source (opens in a new tab)
