Thesis

Artificial Intelligence will disrupt every industry. Flying Fish invests in companies where AI/ML serves as foundational technology across three pillars: Applied Intelligence (AI transforming enterprise workflows), Foundational AI & Infrastructure (core ML tooling and training), and Hard Sciences (AI accelerating biology, materials science, and drug discovery).

Likely not a fit for

Non-AI/ML companies; hardware-only plays without meaningful AI component; consumer entertainment without AI foundation
