AI + regulated industry. That's the seam we invest in. Standards literacy, compliance work, and sector go-to-market are advantages a generalist AI play can't replicate by training a bigger model — and they compound for the founders who get them right.
Applied AI for regulated industries: defense, energy, industrial, healthcare, and compliance-sensitive enterprise. We invest where standards, auditability, and security create durable moats.
Early-stage. We participate in pre-seed and seed rounds, with reserves held for follow-on participation in selected portfolio companies as they mature.
We back teams that treat compliance, security, and auditability as first-class engineering disciplines. Frameworks we look for in target markets include CMMC, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, and SOC 2.
A focused, sector-specialist fund. LPs commit capital, we invest it, and our portfolio companies keep full ownership of their cap tables — no service fees, no studio carve-outs, no hidden equity.
Beyond the check, we sit on boards, open doors across our network of operators and enterprise buyers, and help our portfolio companies put together follow-on rounds.
Active across 22 countries. We invest where the team and the technology are strongest—North America is our home base, with global participation alongside aligned co-investors.
Five regulated markets where we deploy capital. Each one rewards founders who treat compliance, security, and standards literacy as engineering disciplines — not paperwork.
Autonomy, ISR, and decision support. Standards like CMMC and ITAR are the price of admission.
Grid optimization, predictive maintenance, and operational AI for an industry that measures downtime in millions per hour.
Vision systems, process automation, and AI-driven QA for plants where ISO and SOC 2 compliance shape every deployment.
Clinical decision support, diagnostics, and operations AI for a sector where HIPAA and FDA frameworks shape every release.
Detection, audit automation, and risk management — where adversaries adapt faster than rule-based systems can.
If you're building applied AI for regulated or mission-critical sectors, we want to talk.
A focused, sector-specialist fund built for the realities of shipping AI where compliance, security, and operational rigor are non-negotiable.
