Investment thesis
Metaplanet is a deep-tech, mission-driven, evergreen investment firm that backs 'missionaries over mercenaries' — founders building safe, lasting technologies that benefit humanity on a societal and civilizational scale. It invests across sectors and around the world with a continuous-investment mentality, not bound by a single stage or ticket size, and takes a hands-off, founder-friendly approach. As an evergreen fund with a single LP and no external investors, it prioritizes long-term good over short-term returns and has no exit deadlines. Its success also helps fund grants countering neglected existential risks, particularly from AI.
