Investment Thesis

Techne believes hospitality is one of the largest industries in the world ready for technology-driven disruption. They aim to ‘anticipate and precipitate the next big changes in hospitality technology, and lead in that change.’ Their thesis is grounded in the conviction that disruptive technologies such as AI, ML, Blockchain, IoT, and Robotics will create trillions of dollars of value in hospitality, just as they have in other industries. They focus on companies using next-generation technologies to drive automation, operational efficiencies, and higher margins.
