Investment thesis
Transition backs pragmatic-optimist founders building the generational companies of the next century. It argues that these companies will be full-stack by necessity, molding atoms as well as bits and fusing hardware, software, and frontier science. The firm believes building in the real world demands more courage than traditional software but offers a far bigger prize: reinventing the foundations of human prosperity. It targets AI, next-generation computing, new energy, climate resilience, and industrials/robotics. Positioning itself as a hands-on early partner, Transition runs a concentrated portfolio where every founder gets the full team, backing companies designed to outlast their founders and to reconcile growth with positive impact.
