Investment thesis
Adara Ventures argues that as AI commoditises the surface layer of software, durable value shifts to the deeper foundations of technology: proprietary data, trust, domain expertise and physical systems. The firm focuses on this harder, more defensible ground, applying twenty years of experience to back companies at an early stage and help them grow into category-defining businesses. Its conviction-led approach emphasises technically deep and defensible opportunities rather than easily replicable software layers.
