Thesis

Invest in early-stage companies using disruptive deep tech to upend unit economics of established industries while delivering climate-positive outcomes. Focus on undercapitalized climate verticals (water, agriculture, robotics, materials, energy) where deep tech can achieve 2.5-3x unit economics improvement paired with environmental benefits.

Likely not a fit for

Not interested in pure software without deep tech/hardware components. Avoid companies not meeting the Triad thesis (lacking any combination of: disruptive deep tech, fundamentally better unit economics, or climate/nature impact). Pass on solutions targeting only wealthy markets without broader impact.
