Meet Helix: Our AI investment platform.
We built Venture Science over the last decade based on a core premise: to make investment decisions in venture capital and in public markets based on research, math, and decision theory instead of heuristics. Fast forward to 2026, over 80% of our work is done on our in-house proprietary AI systems. We call that system Helix and it fully powers our flagship fund Strata.
Helix is the unified intelligence layer that powers Venture Science. Interconnected, purpose-built systems spanning three operational tiers — from deal sourcing and analysis, to public market strategy, to fund administration and investor communications. Built on a proprietary knowledge base assembled over more than a decade — academic research, internal investment memos, portfolio outcome data, and LP market intelligence — Helix doesn't just run on AI. It runs on what we know. Every system shares one retrieval-augmented foundation, turning 14 years of quantitative investing into a living, compounding edge.
A three-tier
system of
compounding edge.
Every system inside Helix draws from the same foundation — a proprietary knowledge base we've built over more than a decade. Academic finance and decision-science research. Internal investment memos and portfolio outcome data. LP market intelligence and sector mapping.
Scoring models calibrated against real results from 85+ investments. This isn't general-purpose AI reasoning from the open internet. It's a retrieval-augmented architecture grounded in how we actually think, score, and size — institutional memory that gets sharper with every decision we make.
Seven in-house systems — not off-the-shelf vendors — covering how we source deals, how we run the fund, and how we talk to our investors. One connected stack, built from first principles.
Helix is how we operate. Strata is how we invest. Our flagship evergreen fund combines venture capital's convex upside with public market liquidity — sourced, scored, and sized through the platform above. From early-stage positions in companies like Circle through its NYSE IPO to real-time portfolio management across AI, quantum computing, and space technology, every allocation runs through Helix. If you're an accredited investor or family office looking for a disciplined, AI-native approach to innovation investing with annual liquidity, Strata is built for you.
