- Thesis
- Invests in "leading, fast-growing AI enterprise software companies solving critical pain points with defensible advantages in large markets," concentrating on growth-stage B2B software. This is a generalist B2B software fund, not defense-focused — Exein (embedded IoT/device security) appears to be an outlier first foray into the space rather than a pattern.
