Capital Vectors · The Cosmic Astrolabe

Four Bearings on a Dark Sea.

An astrolabe does not predict the weather; it tells you where you stand. These four vectors are our fixed bearings - every cheque we write resolves onto one of them.

The Instrument

Read the Astrolabe

Models and tooling that turn latent space into leverage - agents, reasoning stacks, and the interfaces that make them usable.

Generative AI

Models and tooling that turn latent space into leverage - agents, reasoning stacks, and the interfaces that make them usable.

Stage: Pre-seed → Series A
Cheque: $250K – $3M

Agentic systems that survive contact with real workflows
Inference and serving efficiency at the metal
Interfaces that make model capability legible to non-experts

AGI & Space Tech

General intelligence and orbital infrastructure: the two frontiers that decide who authors the next century.

Stage: Seed → Series A
Cheque: $500K – $5M

Research labs with a credible path beyond benchmark chasing
In-orbit servicing, launch adjacency, and space-based compute
Autonomy stacks for environments with no human in the loop

III

Synthetic Media

Simulated worlds, synthetic performers, and the provenance layers civilisation will need to trust what it sees.

Stage: Pre-seed → Seed
Cheque: $250K – $2M

Real-time generative worlds and performance capture
Provenance, watermarking, and authenticity infrastructure
Tools that give small studios the output of large ones

Deep Science & Quantum

Quantum compute, novel materials, and long-horizon science where the physics is hard and the moat is real.

Stage: Seed → Series A
Cheque: $500K – $4M

Quantum hardware, error correction, and control software
Novel materials with a manufacturable path
Instrumentation that collapses the cost of an experiment

If your work sits between two vectors - or off the chart entirely - that is usually a good sign. Write to us anyway.
