Thesis

Exceptional talent and disruptive ideas know no borders. We invest in emerging innovation hubs where competition is low, valuations are favorable, and founders are capital-efficient. We focus on three transformative themes: Future of Work (hybrid/remote, upskilling, AI automation), Future of Care (healthcare access, value-based care, longevity tech), and Emerging Tech (AI agents, cybersecurity, clean tech). We provide not just capital but operational, sales, policy, and strategic expertise to accelerate growth.

Likely not a fit for

We avoid: capital-inefficient business models, founders unwilling to take advantage of ecosystem partnerships, non-thematic investments outside our core areas, teams without demonstrated domain expertise or operational discipline
