INVESTMENT Thesis

As AI transforms technology, hard problems become more valuable

As AI commoditises the surface layer of software, value sinks below to the proprietary data, trust, domain depth and physical systems. It's the hard, defensible ground we've worked for twenty years, turning early conviction into category-defining companies.

our founders

Seedtag

“Adara wrote the first check when nobody else would. Then they did something rarer, they stayed, through the hard decisions and the wins. So when I had the chance to become an LP, it wasn't really a decision.”

Albert Nieto, Co-Founder Seedtag, a global leader in Neuro-Contextual Advertising

Articul8

“Most investors introduce you to people. Adara sits in the meeting with you. The doors they've opened actually turned into customers and investors.”

Arun Subramaniyan, Founder and CEO. Building enterprise generative AI, spun out of Intel

AlienVault

“You only go back to an investor if the first journey earned it. After the success of AlienVault, bringing Adara into Constella was the natural next step.”

Julio Casal, Founder of Constella Intelligence, previously founded AlienVault, acquired by AT&T
