Companies that may
change an industry.

Six areas of convictionHeld for as long as the work demands.
Conviction

A measured share of capital is committed to research-led companies whose success would shift a trajectory.

We accept that most will not, and hold the rest for as long as the work requires. The list below is illustrative; specific portfolio companies, partners, and commitment sizes are not disclosed.

Approximately 10% of the balance sheet.

The six
I

Foundational intelligence

Model laboratories and the silicon and data infrastructure that train them. Capital where the half-life of advantage is short and the cost of being right is long.

Horizon10–20 years
II

Programmable biology

Generative protein design, cell therapy platforms, longevity science. The slow conversion of biology into engineering, on a timescale measured in scientific careers.

Horizon15–25 years
III

Energy

Fusion, advanced fission, and the storage chemistry that an electric grid will require. The prerequisites for an energy economy that does not warm the planet.

Horizon20+ years
IV

Orbital infrastructure

Reusable launch, Earth observation, and the first generation of in-space services. A new layer of infrastructure built once and used for decades.

Horizon15–30 years
V

Embodied autonomy

Machines that perceive and act in the physical world: industrial, defence, care. Where intelligence finally meets the mechanical work that runs an economy.

Horizon10–20 years
VI

Climate

Industrial-scale carbon removal, novel materials, the agricultural transition. The companies that will be measured in gigatons, not quarters.

A note on discipline

“Frontier capital is not adventure capital. The horizon is long; the discipline is the same.”
