We invest in and build the Thrivers of the AI era

AI is the next platform shift, and it will be the most consequential yet. We evaluate every potential investment on two dimensions: how deep its data access is (Data Gravity), and how mission-critical its workflows are (Workflow Surface Area) The companies that score highly on both are the AI Thrivers.

DATA GRAVITY WORKFLOW SURFACE AREA UTILITIES High data gravity, low workflow lock-in. Data holders powering workflows they do not own. THRIVERS Data-rich + mission-critical workflows. AI amplifies their moat. Covalent's target. SURVIVORS Low on both dimensions. Vulnerable to displacement by AI entrants. SPECIALISTS Niche automation with limited data volume. Encroachment risk from horizontal AI.
