Stimulating Progress through Large Scale Investments

Moving aggressively is not a choice. Well-funded start-ups can afford to pay their employees more and lower their prices, losing money in the short term to win more customers. Start-ups raising $100 million or more used to be a rarity. Not anymore.  Large scale funds are producing a frenzy around tech companies with enough scale and momentum to absorb a large check. This is where we come in.

Thanks to the introduction of the telephone, automobile, and electricity in the late nineteenth century, the world’s productivity exploded as costs dropped, unleashing demand across sectors and changed the way the world worked.

MEASA’s investment strategies span market capitalizations, sectors, and geographies to focus on companies that we expect to be the leaders, enablers, and beneficiaries of disruptive innovation. Our strategies aim to deliver long-term growth with low correlation to traditional investment strategies.

MEASA aims to provide broad exposure to disruptive innovation and believe that innovations centered around artificial intelligence, robotics, energy storage, DNA sequencing, and blockchain technology will change the way the world works and deliver outsized growth as industries transform. Advancements in the areas of autonomous mobility, electric vehicles, robotics and automation, 3D printing, and space exploration will enhance productivity, reduce costs and transform manufacturing, production, and infrastructure. Innovations in artificial intelligence, deep learning, big data, cloud computing and cybersecurity will change the way the world manages information, analyzes data, purchases and consumes goods, and communicates across the globe. Fintech innovations including mobile payments, digital wallets, peer-to-peer lending, and financial risk transformation will revolutionize the financial industry, impacting every sector of the global economy. MEASA’s involvement in space-related businesses like reusable rockets, satellites, drones, and other orbital and sub-orbital aircrafts will transform logistics, observation, agriculture, telecom, drones, and may even put humans on Mars. We will spur a transformative boost in economic productivity and subsume the traditional automotive industry through self-driving vehicles, electric vehicles, autonomous ride-sharing platforms, and aerial drones. We believe that cryptocurrencies governed by open source networks are enabling a new paradigm for monetary systems and mechanisms to store and transfer value.

By embracing oversize investments, we see a chance to capitalize on tech’s incursion into just about every industry. We believe that innovation is already changing lives and businesses across the globe dramatically, creating opportunities to own the next big thing by investing in the future today. We believe that the long-term opportunities for companies and investors participating in this change could be measured in the trillions.

The world is changing rapidly. Innovation is causing disruption and the risks associated with the traditional world order are rising. Each of the disruptive forces we highlighted would be challenging on its own; taken together, they would seem daunting. Yet the opportunities for the economy, business, and society that these forces generate are equally compelling and are already creating new prosperity for those quick to harness them. Embracing the trends while mitigating their negative impact on those who cannot keep up and on our environment is the new imperative of our era. MEASA in the meantime is striving to invest at the pace of innovation.
