Our story.

We are founded on the concept that many parts make up a whole picture; always creating and connecting new dots to continue our story long into the future.

A rich tapestry of experiences, people, passion, deep thinking and values form the beginnings of our story.

Our vision.

To be our founders’ most valuable asset by bringing hands-on support, network and passion.

Our mission.

To create capital value and identify new emerging, disruptive business opportunities for substantial long-term growth.

Our creation.

A Swiss watch, a Porsche… flawless engineering combined with beautiful design is an artform.

Although we love complex thinking and theories, we believe the magic lies in executing aesthetic simplicity.

The creative concept behind our logo combines three main components that reflect the beginnings of our story and our strategic goals: a qubit, a quantum dot, and specialised strategy (linked to our founder’s love of the game, Go).

The logo is a reflection of our specificity, global connections and collaborations, innovative nature, and unique strategic positioning.

Our passion is deep seated in a long and consistent line of our personal life experiences.

Why we exist

We are inspired and shaped by family and friends who were change makers, who thought and acted against the grain, who worked hard to make a difference in the world in their own unique ways; who made a profound difference to our lives.

Those individuals sparked our curiosity and supported us through our own growth. Their footprints are the roots of our way of thinking: our raison d’être, and the reason for how we show up passionately in the world today in every aspect of our lives. And, why we do what we do in business; continuing the line of unique thinking, and challenging the status quo with absolute integrity.
