Focus sectors & thesis

Where families hold a competitive edge.

We build each cohort around sectors where experienced families have an advantage and macro tailwinds are strongest. Families self-select into the sectors they know, which aligns founders, investors and board members from day one.

Technology

FinTech & Payments

Digital banking, cross-border payments, wealth infrastructure and embedded finance. AI-native platforms are accelerating financial access across Latin America and the United States. Families with banking, financial services or regulatory backgrounds hold distinct advantages here.

AI & Intelligent Systems

AI is reshaping every sector, from autonomous operations and predictive analytics to generative tools and decision-support infrastructure. We look for defensible data assets, clear enterprise or family-office applications, and teams that turn model capability into durable business value. Families with experience in financial services, healthcare, logistics or industrial operations are well placed to co-build where domain expertise is the true moat.

Energy & Infrastructure

Renewables, grid modernization, energy storage and critical infrastructure services. The energy transition is one of the largest capital deployment opportunities of the next decade, and families with energy-sector experience make ideal co-investors and operators.

Defense & Security Technology

Healthcare, Wellness & Longevity

Preventive medicine, performance health and longevity science are converging, driven by aging populations, health-conscious consumers and advances in diagnostics and personalized protocols. We back telehealth platforms, functional medicine clinics, metabolic health services, longevity diagnostics and wellness infrastructure. Family experience in clinics, hospitals, fitness, nutrition or integrative health translates directly into advantage.
