Investment Theory & Focus

Backing the leap from scarce intelligence to abundant intelligence—founders helping humanity move from efficiency-driven survival to meaning-driven existence.

New Infrastructure: Open models, decentralized compute, and developer tooling that democratize advanced intelligence.
New Organizations: Human+AI copilots, agent-governed networks, coordination tooling, and protocol-native governance primitives for emergent organizational forms.
New Life: Meaning-as-a-service, deep communities, and creator tools that deliver purpose beyond economic necessity.
