We build and back small ventures that recombine new developments into products, software and services people can actually use, buy and keep.
The Greek word for someone who finds a way: resourceful, versatile, never stuck. We took it because that is the kind of solution we care about. Ingenuity over force. The neat answer rather than the big one.
Progress rarely arrives as one finished thing. It arrives as pieces: a material that performs beautifully but is sold by the roll, a model that can suddenly read and write, a sensor that became cheap last year, a technique that works but lives only in papers. Each new piece quietly unlocks others. The value is in the recombination, and in noticing it early.
That is our work. We look for developments that are real and measurable, combine them with good design and honest engineering, and bring them to market as products, software and services for consumers and for businesses. We test before we claim, we publish what we measure, and we stay small enough to care about every piece that leaves the workshop.
Three questions decide whether we take something on. Does the underlying development already exist, and can we verify it ourselves? Is there a product waiting to be made that no incumbent is making? And can we build, test and improve it with our own hands before anyone is asked to pay for it?
If the answer to all three is yes, we start. If one is no, we write it down and keep looking.
If you have a development that deserves a product, a product that deserves a better one, or a question about what we are working on, write to us.
