Investment Thesis

The firm invests across technologies but selects opportunities primarily on the strength of their intellectual property rather than by vertical. They explicitly state that “Strong intellectual property allows companies large and small to find new paths to market and accelerate revenue outside their current business model,” and they deploy hands‑on commercialization strategies — building new commercial entities and structuring licensing deals — to scale technologies and position companies for long‑term success across major economies.
