Investment thesis
First Imagine! focuses on what it calls AdapTech: technologies designed to strengthen resilience, autonomy and productivity in a fragmented and volatile world. Its thesis centers on adaptation, industrial transformation and emerging AI-enabled technological shifts that help societies and businesses thrive amid geopolitical fragmentation, supply-chain disruption, climate stress and cyber risks. The firm invests across distributed energy systems and storage, water and food security (desalination, precision agriculture, smart irrigation), circularity (resource recovery, advanced recycling, local materials, zero-waste), and Industry 5.0. It emphasizes technologies focused on resilience rather than efficiency alone, backing scalable innovations in the foundational infrastructure of a rapidly changing environment.
