HUMAN FASCINATION. / UNLIMITED POSSIBILITY.Inventions,
Innovations,
& Firsts.
The future belongs to
those who dare to enter.
At the edge of human understanding, possibility waits to be discovered. We bring invention, commercial judgment, and hands-on leadership to the pursuit—and the discipline to turn what we find into something that matters.

|---|---|
Tech Investments Early conviction in foundational technology shifts, from Apple’s mobile expansion to NVIDIA’s accelerated computing. | 155-275x Total returns of approximately 155x on Apple (2006–2026) and 275x on NVIDIA (2016–2026), equivalent to 28%–69% CAGR. |
Algorithms in the Cloud AI-driven algorithmic trading built on early Amazon Web Services through BlueStone Investments. | +43% versus S&P500 during the Great Financial Crisis. We ran high-performance computing algorithms on cloud infrastructure, scaling beyond a single machine, institution, or geographic border. |
AT&T & Apple iPhone Telecommunications consolidation and the mobile platform era surrounding the Apple iPhone. | $124B Total transaction value from 2004 to 2006 of the AT&T, BellSouth, Cingular, SBC merger that enabled the exclusive nationwide carrier agreement for the Apple iPhone from 2007 to 2011. |
Weather Notifications Weather Notifier brought weather alerts to the early mobile app ecosystem. | 2B+ Active Apple devices receiving weather notifications globally, improving the well-being and safety of 1/4th of the planet. |
Stories Social Media StoryApp combined photos and voice into shareable video stories; its concepts, designs, and mechanics were later open-sourced. | 3B+ Global users of the stories media format, which was adopted by social networks and messaging apps. |
Mobile Live Streaming Mobile live-streaming development at Piksel, alongside work in streaming delivery and synchronization. | 0.5B Monthly viewers of videos powered by the Piksel Video Platform for live and on demand video for sports, entertainment, marketing, and broadcast use. |
Biologic Intelligence in Robotics PROME's brain and nervous system-inspired architecture demonstrated an artificial connectome controlling a rover to navigate obstacles in real-time as it moved towards food without prior training. | 100T Neural connections in the human brain and body. We were the first to develop artificial connectomes running on low Size, Power, Weight, and Cost (SWaPC) robotics to adapt in real time to changing environments. |
Collective Intelligence Shared and continually updating knowledge that helps people and machines learn together, making insight useful beyond the individual or entity that discovered it. | 30B+ humans and machines using the Internet's decentralized knowledge graph that has become multi-planetary and multi-solar. |
Multimodal Generative AI A novel seek algorithm that culminates in action, understanding, and creation using a variety of multimedia foundations. | 4B+ monthly active users of AI globally after being adopted by Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, Midjourney, Microsoft, Meta, Runway, and other multimedia AI labs. |
Jetpack Glasses A new category called Analog Augmented Reality combining sunglasses, blue and green light blockers, and AR/VR that have no Internet connectivity, electronics, or AI. Jetpack Glasses | 4B people who wear glasses to see more clearly, protect their eyes from sunshine or screens, and still want information in their field of view. |
