Our Team

Dual Investment Thesis

We invest in AI through a dual-thesis framework: NC × UX.

Next-Gen Computing (NC) backs foundational breakthroughs across the applied-AI tech stack, including model routers, generative AI platforms, and commerce and compute infrastructure.

User Experience (UX) invests in AI-native products with intuitive, delightful UX for both human–machine and machine–machine interactions, unlocking real-world adoption and scalable growth.

VC + Advisory Platform

We unlock both financial and strategic leverage for LPs by accessing high-quality deal flow, enabling strategic co-investments, and facilitating new business incubation through venture studios and joint ventures for sovereigns, corporates, and families.

For founders, we provide hands-on support across strategy, structure, product design, and engineering collaboration.

Why Now

AI represents a structural platform shift, compounding at a pace of roughly every 3–6 months. With an extraordinary concentration of innovation and capital in cities like San Francisco (approximately 50% of global activity), access to high-quality early-stage deals and deep operating insight remains limited for most investors.

Despite recurring concerns about an "AI bubble," early-stage opportunities are frequently mispriced and under-allocated, creating a rare window for first-check advantage and outsized outcomes that are not only financial, but also strategically critical for sovereign and corporate investors.

AI represents a massive strategic shift for many. Don't go it alone. Do AI right with StratMinds.
