The Infrastructure Phase
History rhymes. In the 1840s, the money wasn't made by the passengers on the trains, but by the companies laying the tracks and selling the steel. Today, the "steel" is Compute.
We are in the early innings of a massive capital expenditure cycle focused on data centers, energy generation, and specialized semiconductors. Companies like Nvidia, TSMC, and energy providers are the toll-booths of this new economy.
The Energy Bottleneck
The constraint on AI scaling is no longer just chips; it's Energy. AI data centers are power-hungry beasts. We are bullish on the intersection of Tech and Energy—nuclear power, efficient cooling solutions, and grid modernization.
Our Thesis
We avoid the "wrapper" companies—startups that are merely thin layers over OpenAI's models. Instead, we focus on:
- The Shovels: Chip designers and manufacturers.
- The Power: Energy infrastructure companies.
- The Data: Companies with proprietary, non-public data moats.
The AI revolution is real, but the winners will be concentrated. A selective, research-driven approach is essential to navigate this supercycle.
