Zebra-corn

Definition

Zebra-Corns represent a shift from the unicorn's pursuit of rapid growth at all costs and high valuation towards a more balanced, sustainable, and socially conscious approach.

These are companies that not only aim for financial success but also prioritize creating real, positive impacts on society and the environment.

The name 'Zebra' reflects their black and white stripes, symbolizing the balance between profit and purpose, unlike the singular, elusive nature of the unicorn.

Venture Science

Approach

The studio operates at the intersection of innovation and expertise, building companies from the ground up. Unlike traditional models, we do not co-build or invest in other founders' companies; instead, we collaborate with experts. With a sector-specific focus for each fund, we align our investment thesis to develop disruptive solutions and transform industries.

Venture Science represents our methodical approach to generating, testing, validating, and scaling venture ideas. By removing founders' biases and attachments, our scientific playbook allows us to explore and develop new concepts, reducing risks and fostering a secure environment for innovation. We generate ideas by leveraging creativity, experience, and research to identify opportunities aligned with our thesis, and validate them through scientific methods, performance metrics, and understanding exit strategies.

As we progress, we continuously learn from our experiences and onboarded expertise. This iterative process ensures we remain adaptive and informed, leading to robust and impactful ventures.

Fund One

Creator economy

An unprecedented surge continues to manifest in the fragmented creative and creator economy, with the sector projected to have a compounded annual growth rate of 10-20%. The sector's valuation is expected to reach half a trillion dollars by 2027, signaling a significant need for innovation and iteration in creating, distributing, and monetizing content.

With over $2 billion in funding directed towards creator-centric ventures and an annual spend of $54 billion on virtual services by creators, we aim to strategically build and deliver an end-to-end platform of solutions to address every touchpoint of a creator's journey. Read the full Thesis↗

In the works

As we support CREE8's growth, our studio continues to address the creator economy's evolving needs. We are developing an AI-powered platform to optimize and automate content distribution, enhancing efficiency and engagement. Additionally, we are ideating a monetization project, exploring AI-driven algorithms to unlock new revenue streams and maximize content value. These initiatives aim to empower creators and drive sustainable growth.

Fund Two

Real estate

What if we could revolutionize the world of homeownership, transactions, and management without the need for third-party agents, brokers, and gatekeepers? Imagine a scenario where consumers have the data and insights to be fully informed, establishing trust to transact on a peer-to-peer platform driven by personalized AI copilots.

This is the focus of our thesis for Fund Two. We are currently in the discovery and product ideation phase, with the goal of releasing the thesis in early Q3, 2024.

To shape the future and establish a clear vision for the Real Estate industry, we are excited to be collaborating with leading experts and innovators:
