See If You're a MatchInvestment Thesis
Stray invests in the fundamental transformation of the global economy from extraction to regeneration, guided by the belief that AGI and automation present a pivotal moment to reshape capitalism itself. They position narrative infrastructure and mental models as the deepest leverage points for systemic change, arguing that ‘the stories we tell about technology, work, and value creation become as important as the technologies themselves.’ Their philosophy bridges regenerative economics with transformative capital, viewing true wealth as holistic wellbeing across eight forms of capital—many of which are inherently abundant when circulated rather than hoarded.
What Sets Them Apart
- Biomimetic approach—explicitly modeling investment strategy on natural living systems principles
- Narrative infrastructure as core investment thesis—treating storytelling and mental models as primary leverage points for change
- Polycapital investing approach—combining multi-asset investing, philanthropic grant-making, and social capital rather than traditional venture equity
- Eight forms of capital framework—accounting for intellectual, experiential, social, cultural, and spiritual capital alongside financial returns
- Systems-level thinking grounded in regenerative capitalism and complexity theory rather than traditional VC optimization
- Focus on economic models themselves as the unit of innovation, not just technology solutions
