Areas of Focus — 2026

The ideas we're most
excited about right now

In 2026, we’re drawn to opportunities where the gap between reality and what’s possible feels widest. Our focus spans four dimensions of human life: health, potential, daily experience, and frontier capabilities. If you’re building something ambitious that doesn’t fit neatly in these categories, we still want to hear from you.

Health Management

Control of our biology.

We’re excited about technologies that restore, sustain, and optimize health—replacing fragmented models of care and guesswork with holistic, evidence-based approaches. Our focus is on solutions that monitor, optimize, and augment biology at scale.

  • Healthcare today relies on episodic measurements—annual lab tests and infrequent snapshots that miss the dynamic nature of human physiology. We see a profound opportunity in technologies that make the body’s operating state observable in real time, enabling pattern analysis, early detection, and timely interventions.

    Drivers: Growth in wearables, biosensing, and personal health data ownership, combined with rising demand for hyper-personalized metrics and proactive health management, is creating a large, recurring market opportunity.

  • Nutrition tracking only works when people actually do it. We’re focused on systems that eliminate manual logging, using ambient sensing to make tracking passive and effortless. This enables personalized metabolic optimization and better alignment between diet, behavior, and physiology.

    Drivers: Advances in computer vision, AR hardware, and ambient sensing are closing the gap between intent and action, unlocking significant behavior-change opportunities.

  • Collecting health data is only the first step; insights matter only if they’re actionable. We’re focused on platforms that unify sleep, nutrition, wearables, and lab data to provide multidimensional, personalized guidance across physical, cognitive, metabolic, and emotional systems.

    Drivers: The explosion of personal health data and demand for simplified, actionable guidance is driving adoption of intelligent, integrated health platforms.

Frontier Health

Expanding physical and cognitive potential

The most impactful health interventions of the next decade won’t come from pharmaceuticals alone. We’re focused on technologies that redefine recovery, mood, and rest at a fundamental level, enabling humans to function at their highest capacity.

  • BMIs and neuromodulation technologies interact directly with neural activity, enabling restoration of function—mobility, sensory capabilities, and mood regulation—while supporting cognitive enhancement and psychophysical optimization.

    Drivers: Advances in neural sensing, adaptive stimulation, and AI signal interpretation are making low-friction cognitive and functional enhancement feasible, addressing growing demand for mental health, mood, and performance solutions.

  • We spend a third of our lives asleep, yet most systems barely optimize recovery. High-density rest technologies aim to compress physiological recovery cycles, enhance circadian alignment, and improve cognitive performance, stress management, and resilience.

    Drivers: Converging research in neurostimulation, metabolic monitoring, and sleep-stage optimization, alongside growing consumer and clinical interest in performance-oriented rest, is driving adoption.

  • Emerging health technologies are moving beyond episodic interventions to systematically improve baseline physical and cognitive function. Interventions may optimize metabolism, immune resilience, cardiovascular function, and neurophysiology, raising the floor of human health and performance.

    Drivers: Advances in wearable biosensing, closed-loop feedback, AI personalization, and regenerative therapies enable continuous monitoring and proactive system-level optimization.

Daily Experience

Removing the friction that quietly dominates daily life

The largest time sinks aren’t dramatic—they’re chores, miscommunication, and disorganization. We focus on technologies that eliminate persistent, low-value friction, giving people time and attention for higher-value activities.

  • People make hundreds of small decisions daily. We’re focused on technologies that understand goals, preferences, habits, and context, providing a persistent intelligence layer that guides decision-making, reduces cognitive load, and helps people navigate life effectively.

    Drivers: Advances in large language models, contextual computing, and personal data integration make highly personalized assistants feasible, while growing complexity in work and life is increasing demand for intelligent decision support.

  • Miscommunication is constant—in teams, relationships, and everyday interactions. We’re focused on technologies that model preferences, communication styles, and behavior, functioning as a social operating system to reduce friction and improve collaboration. Not a dating app—this is infrastructure for human coordination.

    Drivers: Growth in behavioral data and LLM-based personality modeling, combined with remote and distributed work, is increasing demand for scalable tools that enable effective collaboration.

  • A large share of daily life is consumed by repetitive, low-value tasks. We’re excited about technologies that quietly automate chores like cleaning, organizing, shopping, and food prep, reducing cognitive and physical overhead.

    Drivers: Advances in robotics, AI agents, and sensor-rich environments, coupled with rising demand for low-friction living systems, are making autonomous domestic automation increasingly feasible.

Frontier Experience

Technologies that change what humans can do

These are bets on capability, not efficiency—technologies that replace conventional paradigms and unlock entirely new human potential.

  • Direct neural interfaces enable knowledge and skill transfer, bypassing conventional learning channels. This represents one of the most radical expansions of human capability.

    Drivers: Advances in non-invasive neural sensing, brain stimulation, and AI decoding are making real-time knowledge interfaces feasible. Rising demand for rapid learning and lifelong skill acquisition is accelerating adoption.

  • Technologies that expand physical abilities and perception, allowing humans to interact with the world in ways beyond natural limits—from augmented vision and hearing to advanced tactile sensing and emotional awareness.

    Drivers: Breakthroughs in robotics, AR/VR, wearable systems, and advanced sensors, combined with demand for performance enhancement and accessibility, are driving adoption of human augmentation technologies.

  • Technologies that enhance thinking, reasoning, and decision-making, including predictive AI copilots, context-aware decision support, memory and focus aids, and closed-loop cognitive optimization.

    Drivers: The rise of ambient data, predictive AI, and neurotechnology, alongside increasing cognitive load, is creating demand for tools that help humans think faster, focus better, and act smarter.

These are starting points, not boundaries

The areas above reflect where our thinking is strongest today. But the most exciting companies often defy predefined categories, and that’s exactly what we want.

If you’re building something ambitious that touches health, daily life, or the frontiers of human potential, we want to hear about it—whether or not it fits neatly into one of these twelve themes.

Questions

We focus on intellectually intensive companies shaping human health and experience.

Pre-seed and seed. We back founders from the earliest pre-seed and seed stages – pre-product and pre-revenue through to commercialisation.

We're based in London and most active across the UK, Europe, and the US. We also consider opportunistic investments globally.

No. These are the themes we're most excited about right now, but we invest opportunistically beyond them. If you're building something ambitious, built for humans-first, we want to hear from you.
