01 / The pattern
History changes direction.
The microprocessor in the 1970s. Personal computing in the 1980s. The web in the 1990s. Mobile computing in the 2000s. Each changed what people could build—and made yesterday’s expectations feel small.
Crypto brought another shift: new ways to own, transact and coordinate without relying on a central intermediary. It made self-sovereignty something people could build into software.
02 / The next departure
Intelligence moves into the world.
We believe AI will reshape how we work, think, interact and live over the coming decade.
Intelligence is moving beyond the screen—into laboratories, machines and the physical world. Entire categories of work will change. New capabilities will become ordinary. Some of the most consequential companies will begin with ideas that seem improbable today.
We look for those ideas before their implications become obvious.
03 / Our roots
We have helped build through a shift like this before.
Before Tangent, our cofounders helped scale two of Asia’s earliest and largest institutional digital assets funds, working with founders shaping the early foundations of digital assets.
That experience taught us to take unfamiliar ideas seriously, look beneath the narrative and stay close to the people doing the building.
Today, that perspective extends across AI, robotics, biology and the infrastructure connecting them.
04 / Our approach
Conviction. With room to move.
Tangent invests its own capital globally, directly in companies and alongside selected specialist investment managers.
Independent capital. A long-term perspective. Room to follow conviction in a new direction.
