We apply a first-principles approach to identify opportunities within markets disrupted by emerging technologies.
By investing with a multi-decade horizon, we back groundbreaking ventures poised to reshape global industries. Through a disciplined mix of public equities, strategic private equity partnerships, digital assets, and early-stage venture capital, we support the disruptive ideas building tomorrow’s landscape.
We believe that superior returns are the result of a disciplined process, not market timing.
First-Principles Research
We do not rely on market consensus or secondary summaries. We deconstruct industries to their most basic components - physics, economics, and unit margins - to understand how emerging technologies will fundamentally alter them. By building our thesis from the ground up, we identify value where others see only complexity.
Pragmatic Risk-Adjustment
Innovation is inherently volatile, but our strategy is rooted in capital preservation. We seek asymmetric opportunities: investments where the downside is strictly quantified and the upside is transformative. We prioritize high risk-adjusted returns, ensuring that our pursuit of growth is always balanced by a pragmatic assessment of safety.
Concentrated Conviction
We believe that deep knowledge of a few assets outperforms a superficial understanding of many. First Solana Beach takes significant, concentrated positions in our highest-conviction ideas. This focus allows us to act as dedicated partners to the ventures we back, moving beyond passive participation to true alignment.
Multi-Decade Time Horizon
Our structure as a family-owned holding company provides us with the rarest commodity in finance: time. We are not pressured by fund cycles or short-term redemptions. This permanent capital mindset allows us to remain invested through market cycles, capturing the full power of compounding over decades rather than quarters.
Our work is driven by a commitment to stewardship and a belief in the transformative power of human ingenuity.
Our mission is to provide the disciplined capital and long-term perspective necessary to fuel the technological breakthroughs that drive global progress and industrial efficiency.
Intellectual Humility
We are students of the market. We prioritize the search for truth over the need to be right, remains flexible when facts change, and constantly stress-test our own assumptions.
Radical Independence
As a private holding, we answer only to our internal standards. This independence grants us the agility to move quickly and the courage to be contrarian when the data supports it.
Productive Optimism
We invest in the builders. We believe that technology, applied with ethics and rigor, is the primary engine for a better future, and we are proud to back the visionaries making it a reality.
Operational Excellence
While we are an agile family entity, we operate with institutional-grade discipline. Every investment, partnership, and internal process is handled with the highest level of professional integrity.
