Manufacturing in microgravity is a market before the market exists. Edges before centers — taken literally, off-planet.
We back founders who go where others don't — frontier markets, unlikely categories, improbable combinations.
The most asymmetric returns come from places and categories that institutional capital hasn't priced yet.
We're drawn to founders who fuse worlds that don't normally touch — media and AI, sports and analytics, commerce and culture.
We're builders investing in builders. Our value isn't capital alone — it's pattern recognition from 20+ years across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
In-orbit manufacturing
Manufacturing in microgravity is a market before the market exists. Edges before centers — taken literally, off-planet.
Electric seagliders
Aviation, maritime, and electrification — three worlds fused into one craft. Bridges as moats, built for archipelagos like ours.
Cultivated seafood
Feeding the world without touching the ocean. A category most capital called too early — which is usually our cue.
AI compliance platform
Compliance is where AI's promise meets regulated reality. Vertical AI with the hardest moat to copy: trust.
Experiential media
Live events across SEA generate culture — and data nobody was capturing. Media, sports, and analytics on one stage.
Cross-border logistics
Commerce rails for the corridors big players ignore. Bridges as moats — in the most literal sense.
Culture & IP
Culture and IP travel faster than infrastructure. A bet on Asia's creative exports finding global rails.
Modern florals
A modern brand in a fragmented, offline category. Unlikely categories are our favorite kind.
Serial entrepreneur and multi-family office manager with 20+ years across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the US — building, operating, and backing companies at the frontier.
We want to hear from founders operating in markets and categories others have overlooked.
