Venture & Strategic Affiliations

Selective early-stage exposure through trusted institutions.

Thesis

Limited, programmatic early-stage exposure routed exclusively through institutions whose judgement and governance we have validated over time.

Rationale
  • Strict cap on venture exposure relative to total balance sheet.
  • Partner-led sourcing only — no broad LP commitments.
  • Long-standing affiliation with the IC Combinator programme for category-defining founders.
  • Co-investment rights, never blind commitments.
