Our Investment Compass

The circumstances of how we exchange information and value over the internet today is a result of exploitative business models, such as surveillance capitalism and digital authoritarianism, that have entertained our vanities and egos, while discreetly eroding our unique yet collective sense of humanity.

Blockchain technology is irrevocably transforming the global economy and inevitably returning the internet to its original purpose: the free and open sharing of knowledge, going beyond arbitrary lines drawn in the sand, for the collective advancement of the human race.

Cryptography with blockchain technology allow us the opportunity to reset these failings and regain agency and control over our privacy, data, assets and information—our digital life—and our mind.

We identify and back companies that are poised to disrupt the status quo and revolutionise the way value is exchanged on the internet. Our focus is on businesses that empower individuals to take control of their digital lives, protect user data, and drive positive social change.

We are confident that the companies that will shape the future of the internet are those that prioritise human agency, transparency, and accountability.

Our investment strategy is guided by a clear set of values, but we are not limited by traditional sector boundaries. Instead, we take a tech-agnostic approach, investing in companies that are driving innovation and growth across a wide range of industries, from gaming and education to artificial intelligence and media.

We are committed to supporting companies that harness the power of gaming, education, blockchain infrastructure and artificial intelligence to drive positive change. We believe that the next generation of technology leaders will be those that prioritise human wellbeing, social responsibility, and environmental sustainability.

We are excited about the prospect of investing in companies that are using gamification to promote anti-Moloch principles, encouraging collaboration and mutual benefit over zero-sum competition. By leveraging the engaging and interactive nature of games, these companies are empowering individuals to develop a more nuanced understanding of complex systems and to make more informed decisions.

We are also passionate about supporting education technology companies that are dedicated to teaching critical thinking and media literacy skills. In an era of information overload and disinformation, it is more important than ever that we equip individuals with the tools they need to navigate the digital landscape effectively.

Furthermore, we are committed to investing in artificial intelligence companies that are using AI to reverse the harmful effects of the attention economy. By developing AI systems that prioritise human wellbeing and promote positive social outcomes, these companies are helping to create a more compassionate and equitable digital ecosystem.

We recognise the profound impact of technology on the fabric of our democracy and the wellbeing of our citizens. As investors in a better future, we are committed to supporting research and policy initiatives that address the pressing issues at the intersection of technology, media, and society.

Our focus is on ensuring that the digital landscape serves the greater good, rather than the interests of a select few. By promoting accountability, advocating for people-centred innovation, and fostering a culture of responsible tech practices, we aim to create a more just and equitable digital ecosystem that upholds the values of democratic societies and protects the rights of individuals.

Through strategic investments and collaborative efforts, we are working towards a future where technology truly serves the public interest.

Media

The digital revolution has transformed the media landscape, granting unparalleled access to information and enabling anyone to become a publisher. This remarkable achievement has opened up new avenues for knowledge-sharing and idea-exchange, but it also poses significant challenges. The digital marketplace of ideas is vulnerable to exploitation and manipulation, with some of the world's largest companies prioritising profits over the public interest.

We are witnessing a crisis of trust in media, with far-reaching consequences for our society. The proliferation of misinformation and disinformation on social media platforms is eroding faith in institutions and undermining democratic processes. The algorithms driving our online interactions often prioritise sensationalism and conflict, contributing to a polarised public discourse and the erosion of cultural nuance. Furthermore, the spread of fake news and propaganda is having a profound impact on our collective wellbeing, particularly amongst younger generations.

We believe it is essential to address these pressing issues. By supporting research and initiatives that promote media literacy, fact-checking, and responsible innovation, we can work towards a digital ecosystem that prioritises the public good over private gain. The dominance of a handful of tech giants has significant implications for the integrity of our media landscape, and it is imperative that we take a proactive approach to mitigating the risks and harnessing the benefits of this rapidly evolving landscape. By doing so, we can help to restore trust in media and promote a more informed and engaged citizenry.

“The task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen,
but to think what nobody has yet thought,
about that which everybody sees.”
