In plain terms
We measure how well brains perform under pressure.
We own the technology that measures it.
We back companies where that measurement changes what they're worth.

Where we invest: industries and companies where deploying neuroscience to improve how people think, decide and perform leads to enhanced performance — alpha generated by improving the cognitive capabilities of the organisation.

65%

of venture financings return less than the capital invested.
And 65% of high-potential startups fail because of their people, not their product.

The technology rarely fails. The decisions do.
We are the firm that measures, prices and fixes them.

The Cognitive Core

A neuroscience-powered
approach to capital.

We are an investment firm. We invest in companies, deploy our proprietary neuro-infrastructure inside them, improve how their people perform under pressure — and build the outperformance from the inside.

We call this the Cognitive Core: a decade of peer-reviewed neuroscience, authored at the source — and exceptionally hard to replicate.

Dr Michael L. Platt · Chief Neuroscientist · James S. Riepe Professor, University of Pennsylvania · Founding Director, Wharton Neuroscience Initiative — the first within a business school · 27,000+ academic citations · Nature · Science · PNAS
The behavioural wind tunnel
The Behavioural Wind Tunnel

A neuroscience method,
working as an investment tool.

The behavioural wind tunnel is pure neuroscience: it measures how people actually decide under real pressure, with clinical-grade accuracy. We run our investments through it — testing a company's people before capital goes in, and re-testing as the Cognitive Core improves them. Aviation stopped guessing when the wind tunnel arrived. So did we.

Inside the firm
Invest once. Earn twice.

Every exit returns more than just capital.
It builds the asset you own.

You invest once, at the parent. When a portfolio company exits, that capital comes back to you. The neuro-IP built inside the company stays — it flows back to the parent you own, making the next deployment cheaper, faster and better priced. One investment, two engines of return.

COGNITIVE CORE grows every turn 01 · INVEST Capital enters at the parent 02 · DEPLOY The Core goes inside a company 03 · CALIBRATE Real-world pressure builds the IP 04 · COMPOUND Data, models, licences return

Positions rotate. The Core accumulates. That is the compounding.
