Strategic investment and M&A in frontier tech.

We work with private investors, family offices and corporate buyers to evaluate technology investments, execute acquisitions and build long‑term value.

Talk to us

Thesis

We believe the most extraordinary work of our time is happening in frontier tech: AI, infrastructure and space.

We take part in it by building alongside the people behind it. Founders, engineers and investors get a partner inside the team, hands‑on from the first question to the closed deal.

We research investment bets, lead M&A from target search to integration, and co‑found companies through fundraising, market discovery and go‑to‑market.

What we do

We help investors decide where and whether to invest in frontier technologies. Working alongside your team, we assess what a technology can realistically achieve, when it will be ready, what it will cost, and how it fits your returns, risks and timelines.

Avanpost

How a pre‑AI business becomes AI‑native.

Most companies in private equity portfolios were built before AI. Retrofitting AI into the existing organisation rarely works: old processes, incentives and P&L protect themselves. What works is a separate unit with a new leader, built on an AI stack, that challenges the core business and over time replaces it.

  1. 01

    Set up the unit

    A separate team with a new leader, its own P&L and a clear mandate from the owners.

  2. 02

    Build on an AI stack

    Processes designed AI‑native from day one, not retrofitted onto the old organisation.

  3. 03

    Redirect revenue

    Customers, products and revenue lines move to the new unit as it proves it can serve them better.

  4. 04

    Replace the old core

    The legacy operation shrinks as the unit takes over, and the business model changes with it.
