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 APPROACH
how we show up for founders
The difference two
decades make
1.
We speak your language
With two decades of backing deeply technical teams, we know how engineers think and build. We’re here to help you turn that into commercial outcomes, from go‑to‑market and hiring to scaling, while you stay focused on the technology.
2.
Your edge in pivotal moments
We deliver high-leverage support during the events that define your company's future. When it comes to fundraising strategy, board dynamics, or exits, including tough rounds and complex transitions, we bring the exact expertise required to win.
3.
True partnerships that unlock real value
We’ve built a partnership network spanning global tech platforms and world‑leading research labs – and we turn that network into your advantage. We connect you with strategic, early customers and co‑investors to unlock pilots, distribution and capital when it matters most.
4.
20-year network & experience
Spanning Europe and the US, we've spent two decades building trust with key operators and buyers. It's a network of expertise you can't build overnight. When you need that critical introduction, we already know them. Explore how we put this network to work in our portfolio case studies

our founders

Seedtag

“Adara wrote the first check when nobody else would. Then they did something rarer, they were still in the room ten years later, in the moments where decision-making was hard and in the ones we celebrate. That's why, when I had the chance to become an LP, it wasn't really a decision. I'd already seen what they do with a company. Now I want to be on the other side of it.”

Before grid flexibility was the bottleneck.

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 an easy decision."

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