Artificial intelligence
Products and companies built around AI, with human needs at the center. Alongside company creation, we put practical intelligence to work inside operating businesses.
AI
& Fintech
Intelligence put to work. Financial technology, digital infrastructure and original ideas, connected to the people and platform that build real businesses.
Intelligence. Put to work.
Our focus spans artificial intelligence, financial technology, digital infrastructure, university technology transfer and incubation. The opportunity is to turn promising IP into useful products—and useful products into operating businesses.
Financial technology
The tools and infrastructure behind how money moves and businesses operate. We look for opportunities to make financial workflows simpler, more connected and better suited to the people using them.
Digital infrastructure
We approach crypto through the businesses it can enable: infrastructure, products and useful applications of digital ownership. Technology with a clear purpose and a path into the real world.
Where we can
work together.
We look for AI, fintech and digital infrastructure opportunities with a specific customer, a problem worth solving and a role for hands-on company building. University IP and founder-led businesses can enter that process at different stages.
