America Is the Opportunity.
FUND THESIS:
The next great venture wave won’t come from apps, marketplaces, or entertainment. It will come from intelligent infrastructure, sovereign energy, resilient logistics, and machine autonomy. This fund invests in the founders and platforms reshaping America’s future — not just because we believe in our country, but because we believe it will win.
WHY NOW:
We are entering an era where power and prosperity are built from energy, AI, manufacturing, health security, and resilient systems. This fund invests at the intersection of patriotism and progress, helping to rebuild the arsenal of democracy — and capturing the frontier markets of the 21st century.
