03 / Shared valuesWhat makes a lasting partnership.

01
Integrity
The value we place above all else and never compromise on.

We look for founders whose integrity holds under pressure and shows most when the stakes are highest. We would rather miss a great deal than trust the wrong person.

02
Built for the long haul
Founders driven not by a quick exit, but by the resolve to see one hard problem all the way through.

The transformations we back take years to unfold. What carries a company through is not endurance alone, but the conviction to keep pushing until the problem is solved.

03
Founders who shift the paradigm
Founders building technology deep enough to change how a market works, not merely optimize the one that exists today.

Often, they are researchers who have pushed the frontier of their field, now ready to carry that breakthrough from the lab into the world.

How our thinking has evolved

2025Physical AI Infrastructure
Our investment thesis, 'Physical AI Infrastructure' focuses on the foundational layers required to deploy AI in the physical world. As robots, autonomous systems, and embodied AI move from lab to production, the critical bottleneck shifts from algorithms to infrastructure: simulation & world models, middleware & OS, edge compute, system testing & V&V, and cybersecurity for physical AI. We invest 2โ€“3 years ahead of mainstream adoption into the infrastructure startups that will become deployment prerequisites, at the intersection of software and hardware in regulated enterprise markets.
2023AI-Driven Deep Tech Transformation
Our investment thesis centers on the transformation of deep tech sectors including manufacturing, energy, semiconductors, and space, where traditional software is increasingly replaced or enhanced by AI-driven solutions. Tasks currently dependent on human labor and expertise, as well as processes relying on conventional software systems, are rapidly transitioning to AI-powered alternatives.
2021Redefining Humanity
Our investment thesis, 'Redefining Humanity' centered on the transformative potential of AI, robotics, semiconductors, and advanced technologies, the innovations poised to revolutionize industries and liberate humanity from the constraints of labor, paving the way for a future defined by creativity and higher purpose.
