Investment Thesis
We believe AI is the most essential technological advancement of the twenty-first century.
The AI revolution is unlocking unprecedented opportunities for businesses to drive innovation, efficiency, and growth across sectors. By harnessing the power of intelligent automation, predictive analytics, and adaptive learning algorithms, companies can now tackle their most pressing challenges and uncover new avenues for value creation.
From optimizing supply chains and personalizing customer experiences to accelerating research breakthroughs and fortifying cybersecurity, AI is proving to be a catalyst for transformative change.
As organizations embrace AI's potential to streamline operations, reduce costs, and fuel data-driven decision making, they are positioning themselves at the forefront of a smarter, more agile, and fiercely competitive business landscape. The AI-powered future is not merely on the horizon – it is already here, paving the way for a new era of innovation and growth.
What we look for in our portfolio of companies:
AI as a platform
We are committed to ventures where AI is not just an addition but a fundamental driver of capability, helping startup businesses run more efficiently and faster. AI is a platform that allows us to build more value with less.
Path to Profitability
We emphasize each startup's structured path to profitability. This involves detailed business modelling, market analysis, distribution, marketing, and iterative product development within the incubation phase, ensuring that each venture is strategically positioned for financial success.
Global Focus
Our studio's strategy includes creating startups with a vision that transcends local markets, aiming for solutions that address broader global challenges. This ensures scalability and relevance across large, diverse markets, enhancing the potential for significant impact.
