/ Focus Areas
Three sectors. One intersection.
We back founders building at the intersection of finance, technology, and the sea. Narrow enough to know. Broad enough to matter.
/ Thesis
Why these three.
Finance is the language we speak. Technology is the leverage we build. The sea is where operational complexity meets real-world stakes. Each sector we invest in sits somewhere on that map — and each one is large enough, slow enough, and underserved enough to reward operators who go deep.
/ 01 · MarineTech
Maritime Innovation.
The maritime industry moves two-thirds of global trade and runs on software built decades ago. We back founders digitising operations, re-engineering propulsion, and connecting the ocean's data layer — from yachts to commercial fleets.
Smart yachting
Fleet management, crew operations, compliance, and owner experience platforms for superyachts and leisure vessels.
Fleet software
Planned maintenance, SMS digitisation, port logistics, and voyage optimisation for commercial fleets.
Sustainable propulsion
Hybrid and electric drivetrains, alternative fuels, and onboard energy management for vessels of every class.
Ocean data
Connectivity, sensor infrastructure, and the analytics layer that turns raw ocean signal into operational decisions.
/ 02 · FinTech
Financial Infrastructure.
The rails of money — payments, custody, digital assets, and embedded finance — are being re-architected globally. We invest in teams building the infrastructure that makes the next decade of finance work.
Digital assets
Tokenisation, custody infrastructure, on-chain settlement, and the regulated bridges between TradFi and digital-asset markets.
Next-gen payments
Real-time settlement, cross-border corridors, programmable money, and the payment stacks behind modern commerce.
Embedded finance
Banking, lending, and insurance delivered as APIs into the surfaces where work actually happens — vertical SaaS, marketplaces, and platforms.
RegTech & compliance
Identity, KYC, transaction monitoring, and regulatory-technology platforms built for the complexity of modern cross-border finance.
/ 03 · WealthTech
Intelligent Capital.
Wealth management is in the middle of a generational handover — and a software rewrite. We back the technology rebuilding how capital is allocated, advised, and managed across private and institutional mandates.
Advisor platforms
Modern portfolio management, client reporting, and advisory workflows for wealth managers, family offices, and private banks.
Alternative access
Private markets, pre-IPO, and alternative asset platforms that broaden access without compromising on diligence or governance.
Execution & trading
Institutional execution, multi-asset trading infrastructure, and the analytics layer for discretionary and quantitative strategies.
Data & intelligence
Research automation, alt-data pipelines, and AI tools that give managers a real edge — without adding headcount or complexity.
/ Building in this space?
Let's talk.
If you're a founder building in FinTech, WealthTech, or MarineTech — at any stage — we'd like to hear from you. Even if we can't back you, we'll often know someone who should.
