In our first call, Chase cut through the noise and asked the question no one else had. That level of questioning is rare. It tells me the research comes first.

The AI-enhanced research piece is what drew me in. He explained how it augments, not replaces, fundamental judgment. That balance is hard to find.

A single owner-operator, fully accountable to every position we take.
We are pre-launch. That is exactly the point.
The opportunities we pursue rarely announce themselves. Reaching out early means your questions help shape how we think.
A research brief built on conviction
We deliver a written investment thesis for each idea we pursue, grounded in deep research and quantitative discipline. Outside of consensus, these briefs outline long-term value where markets see risk.
Questions worth asking
Clear answers about our approach, timeline, and how we work.
What does pre-launch mean for your firm?
We are building the research engine and process before opening to outside capital. Right now we are focused on refining our approach and listening to thoughtful questions.
What kind of investments does the firm target?
We concentrate on specialized sectors like semiconductors, aerospace, and emerging technology, seeking long-term value where market perception diverges from economic reality. It is deep research into niche areas.
How is your investment approach different?
We combine fundamental research, quantitative discipline, behavioral finance, and AI-enhanced insight to find asymmetric opportunities. The goal is conviction before consensus, not following the crowd.
Who is the firm's founder and what is his background?
Chase Poorman founded the firm in Atlanta. His background is in financial modeling, quantitative analysis, technology, AI, and behavioral finance, with a focus on long-term structural trends.
What sectors does the research focus on?
We focus on AI, semiconductors, computing, energy and infrastructure, space and aerospace, defense, and other innovative businesses. These are areas where conventional assumptions often fail.
