introducing mare liberum

We invest at the intersection of critical technologies and the maritime domain.

Three forces are converging to create this opportunity:

Emerging Ocean Platforms

Deep-sea mining, advanced underwater exploration, and satellite connectivity are making the ocean more transparent and economically relevant.

National Security Modernization

The rapid rise of low-cost, unmanned maritime systems is redefining naval operations and undermining the foundations of global trade security.

Global Trade Realignment

Global supply chains are shifting away from China toward alternative hubs offering greater resilience and geopolitical stability.

Stability at sea is foundational to the global economy.

Oceans are critical infrastructure powering trade, security, and energy flows. A new age of great power competition and technological supremacy is redefining maritime dominance. We back the founders building for this era.
