Sectors of Interest
We dedicate most of our research efforts around the following core focus areas. In addition to these, we’ll opportunistically invest outside of these areas
- Retail: We’re witnessing tremendous transformation in retail as brands seek to reduce their dependence on platforms and establish new methods and models for today’s consumer. We’re excited to partner with founders building enabling infrastructure and platforms for the reinvention of retail.
- Insurance: Insurance is a multi-trillion dollar industry experiencing transformation across every facet of the value chain. We’re excited to back companies leveraging digital solutions to increase efficiency and align customers with insurers to “bend the risk curve” and reduce claims.
- Supply Chain: All the physical goods we touch make their way through the supply chain and we’re seeing rapid digitization to transform the real economy. We’re excited to back founders unifying supply chain networks, democratize access to technology and developing solutions to achieve unprecedented economic and environmental
- Climate: Climate change presents one of the biggest challenges of our time. As the clean energy economy grows, we believe new technologies, models and platforms will drive more sustainable behavior across both the energy sector and broader economy, while generating phenomenal economic impact.
- Care: One of the biggest financial burdens on dual-income families is care of loved ones, particularly children and seniors. We’re interested in companies that can improve access, accountability, and affordability of care services in these segments.
