Private markets platform and manager Moonfare has launched an AI-focused strategy targeting early- and growth-stage opportunities, aiming to provide diversified exposure to transformative technologies.
The strategy will target key themes including AI, cybersecurity, next-generation healthcare, deep tech, fintech infrastructure and physical AI. It will invest through a curated portfolio of leading venture and growth managers, alongside direct co-investments in category-leading technology companies.
The strategy is structured around allocations to 8–15 managers, complemented by 8–15 co-investment opportunities sourced via Moonfare’s GP network.
Initial allocations include technology managers with strong track records of top-quartile performance, as well as direct exposure to a data intelligence platform company.
Technology and competition top concerns for asset managers
Steffen Pauls, founder and co-CEO, Moonfare, said: “AI is not a sector trend but a structural shift in how companies are built and scaled. Access to the managers and companies best positioned to capture that shift remains constrained. This strategy is designed to secure allocations with a select group of leading firms and construct a diversified portfolio that would be difficult for individual investors to replicate.”
Pavel Ermoline, head of venture capital and direct investing at Moonfare, added: “The challenge for many market participants isn’t identifying the theme – it’s gaining access, building diversified exposure and partnering with managers who can consistently source the most competitive opportunities. This strategy is designed to address all three.”
