Market Reality
The Market Has Already Moved. Most Portfolio Companies Have Not.
In late January 2026, software indexes fell sharply while broader equity indexes held flat. The repricing reflected one conclusion: agentic AI can automate the knowledge work that per-seat SaaS models were built to support.
The companies that came through unaffected had one thing in common: they owned their intelligence. They did not rent it.
Live Systems
Two systems live. One in development.
Cybersecurity Intelligence
Doctorate-Level Knowledge Base
A PhD-level cybersecurity thesis restructured as a Sovereign AI coaching system. Users interrogate it through an iPhone app. The expertise scales without the expert in the room.
Industrial Property
IndiFind — European Industrial Property Intelligence
A pan-European database of industrial property assets with AI that lets investors ask complex questions in plain English. What took an analyst two hours now takes two minutes.
In Development — Critical Minerals
Global Minerals Intelligence System
A living database of global mineral deposits, supply chains, and asset valuations. The AI does not just surface data. It reasons over it.
