We partner with entrepreneurs who are fearless and possess the ability to create technology companies that change the world. ## What we offer **Access** — We have unrivalled access to a global network of AI experts, researchers, Fortune 500 technology companies, and investors. Our network provides best-in-class expertise for both entrepreneurs and investors. **Experience** — As a collective group, we possess multi-dimensional and global experience. Our skillsets are proven as founders, operators, and investors. We've been in the trenches on all sides of the table and have been a part of failed and successful companies. These experiences produced the bedrock that enables us to be seasoned advisors to our portfolio companies as they reshape the world. **Network** — We've done this on the global stage, having built and grown companies across multiple jurisdictions. We intend to utilize our global relationships to leverage meaningful connections that produce early commercial outcomes for our portfolio companies. Smart connectivity and relationships are our fiber, we aim to exist as conduits to scale as we partner through every stage of a company's life cycle. ## Industries we invest in **Media & Gaming — Shaping the future of entertainment** By 2030, the landscape of gaming and entertainment will undergo profound transformation. Innovations will include artificially intelligent characters capable of engaging in real-time video chats with users during gameplay, and the rise of AI entities as leading influencers and pop stars. Pacific Partners plans to be at the cutting edge of this. **Enterprise Software — Workplace evolution embracing AI integration** By 2030, AI coworkers will be a normal part of the workplace, messaging with you on Slack, coding with you and generating decks for that important meeting. Pacific Partners is excited to work with top founders who want to transform the way we work. **Health & Wellness — Empowering visionary founders in the industry** From sports, to AI doctors, to drug discovery and protein folding, the human body will change in remarkable ways this decade. We want to partner with fearless founders who want to change the human body. **Proprietary Silicon — Securing tomorrow with AI in Proprietary Silicon** Amid a global surge in AI innovation, hyperscalers are aggressively ramping up capital expenditures to build AI-first infrastructure. Yet, it is the foundational "pick and shovel" companies, such as Nvidia, Cerebras, and Groq, that are capturing the bulk of the value. These firms are experiencing unprecedented demand growth, driven by the exponential compute requirements of next-generation AI architectures. As thinking models become central to both commercial and national strategic interests, this demand is expected to accelerate further. ## By the numbers - 4 key industries - 20+ portfolio companies - $1–5m invested per company - 10–20% deal ownership ## Portfolio - [Picklebet](https://picklebet.com/) — Artificial Intelligence, Gaming - [Talon](https://www.talon.gg/) — Artificial Intelligence, Gaming - [The Simulation](https://thesimulation.ai/) — Artificial Intelligence, Enterprise - [Perplexity](https://perplexity.ai/) — Artificial Intelligence, Enterprise ## Partners We partner with a wide range of Venture Capitalists who share our values and vision for the future: - A leading private investment firm with holdings across the technology, financial services, media and consumer sectors. - A global investment platform specialising in Synthetic Reality. - An investor in a select number of special companies, committed to being there every critical step of the way when partnering with entrepreneurs. - Founders investing alongside founders who are striving to improve life, work, and play through building innovative tech companies. - An investor in the top 1% operators and leaders of today and tomorrow. ## Our approach to partnership At Pacific Partners, we embody the spirit of true partnership in every sense, deeply engaging with each founder to nurture their dreams and accelerate their success.
