Thesis

We invest in transformative frontier science and technology that most VCs avoid. Our focus is on biotech, deep tech, psychedelics, brain-computer interfaces, life extension, and infrastructure bets in undercapitalized global markets. We believe the biggest winners in biotech are companies producing quality-adjusted life years (QALYs).

Likely not a fit for

We avoid traditional sectors lacking transformative potential. No late-stage, proven, low-risk business models.
