A Little Capital in the Right Places Can Move Whole Systems Forward

In complex industries, a small number of bottlenecks decide where value accumulates and where progress stalls.

 

We find those constraints and invest in startups positioned to resolve them.

01     /  

THE

PROBLEM

There's no shortage of capital. There's no shortage of important problems. The hard part is knowing where a little capital solves the biggest problems.

​

The bottlenecks that matter most are often hard to find. They can sit upstream of symptoms, hide inside processes nobody is paying much attention to, and shift before anyone notices.

02   /  

THE INFRASTRUCTURE

Finding bottlenecks isn't just pattern matching. It's infrastructure. For nearly two decades, we've built the analytical infrastructure to see how value chains actually behave.

​

Where value pools. Where it gets stuck. What might resolve those bottlenecks. Whether those solutions work in real conditions.

​

Most analysis treats systems as static. Ours are dynamic. We track how bottlenecks form, shift and resolve over time.

​

The methodology began as a collaboration with Clayton Christensen and Intel. It now guides capital across industries worldwide.

HOW WE WORK

Deconstruct the system. Find the bottlenecks. Deploy capital to clear them.

01  

Deconstruct

Map the value chain. Trace where value moves and where it pools.

02  

Find the bottlenecks

Identify which bottlenecks matter. Distinguish them from symptoms. Pressure-test against real conditions.

03

Deploy

Invest where capital actually moves the system. Track how the bottlenecks shift after intervention.

04     /     SECTORS

Where we currently deploy capital.

AGRITECH

Investments across crop science, biological inputs, and the systems that connect them to growers.

DIAGNOSTICS

Investments in the infrastructure of clinical testing, at-home care, and the data layer underneath both.

MULTI-INDUSTRY

Direct investments where bottlenecks cross sector lines. Electric vehicles, energy efficiency, virtual healthcare, neurology, and other emerging fields.
