Our thesis has three thematic focus areas that leverage our experience, creating outsized returns for our LPs:

Autonomous Infrastructure: Advancements in core perception and sensors have reached a tipping point - the industry demands adjacent infrastructure to scale.

AI-Powered Data Network Effects: 
AI unlocks new efficient ways to capture, structure and transform data, creating new flywheels.

Hybrid Marketplaces: Next-Gen marketplace models add new monetization opportunities and leverage AI for enhanced scalability.

Our depth of experience gives us unfair advantages in anticipating the next big wave in these categories.
