Where we invest.

Three convictions, each held long enough to know the difference between a cycle and a shift.

AI Infrastructure

The systems that make intelligence cheap: training and inference platforms, data pipelines, evaluation, and the security layer enterprises need before they deploy.

  • Inference
  • Data platforms
  • Evaluation

Applied Intelligence

Software that absorbs the work, not just the workflow. We look for teams with unfair access to a regulated or operationally dense industry.

  • Healthcare
  • Financial services
  • Supply chain

Frontier Systems

Hard technology with a physical footprint: robotics, quantum, energy, and the defense-adjacent systems that keep supply chains sovereign.

  • Quantum
  • Energy

How we work.

01

Conviction over consensus

We lead rounds others find early or unfashionable, and we write the first check more often than the follow-on.

02

Operators, not spectators

Every partner has shipped product or carried a quota. We take one board seat per two investments, and we answer within the day.

03

Patient capital, precise timing

Ten-year funds, ten-week decisions. We commit or pass within three meetings so founders keep their calendar.

Building something inevitable?

Send us a memo, not a deck. Two paragraphs on what you believe that others don't is enough to start.
