AI is fundamentally reshaping the threat landscape — accelerating attack sophistication, enabling autonomous adversarial agents, and creating new vectors across critical infrastructure. We invest in the next generation of cyber defence: AI-native security platforms, autonomous threat detection and response systems, adversarial AI resilience, identity and access management for agentic systems, zero-trust architectures for AI workloads, and the security tooling required to operate safely in a world of autonomous software and large-scale AI deployment.
Active InvestmentWe invest across the full AI stack — from frontier model development and novel architectures to applied AI products with defensible market positions. Our focus includes autonomous AI agents, multi-agent systems, and agentic workflows transforming enterprise operations; frontier AI models built for specific domains; and domain-specific SaaS solutions embedding AI into Healthcare, Mobility, Industrial IoT, Edutech, and beyond.
Lead FocusResilient digital public infrastructure is the foundation of functional, equitable cities. We invest in digital identity systems, sovereign data platforms, civic technology, open interoperability standards, and the infrastructure layers — connectivity, energy, mobility — that cities depend on to serve every resident reliably and securely.
Active InvestmentThe decarbonisation of the global economy is the defining investment opportunity of this decade. We focus on innovations across clean energy generation and storage, grid modernisation, carbon measurement and markets, climate adaptation technology, and the industrial software enabling the energy transition — backing ventures with clear commercial models and measurable climate impact.
Seed StageSpatial computing platforms, immersive enterprise tools, digital twin environments, and infrastructure enabling the next generation of human-computer interaction.
Emerging FocusQuantum software, hybrid quantum-classical systems, post-quantum cryptography, and simulation platforms with near-term commercial applications.
Deep ResearchThe 7mps Studio model goes beyond capital. We embed experienced operators directly within portfolio companies at the earliest stages, providing hands-on support across product, commercial, technical, and regulatory functions — guided throughout by an Open Innovation framework that connects our ventures to the broadest possible network of knowledge, partners, and market access.
We conduct rigorous market sizing and competitive analysis across our six verticals to identify validated opportunities with defensible positioning and clear paths to revenue.
Our sector leads develop structured investment theses grounded in market data, competitive dynamics, regulatory context, and direct conversations with enterprise buyers.
We recruit and assemble founding teams, co-develop initial product architecture, and provide 18 months of embedded operational support — from incorporation to first commercial contract.
We activate our LP and corporate network for Series A+ fundraising, facilitate strategic partnerships, and support exit planning including trade sale and IPO readiness processes.
A structured suite of operational services delivered by 7mps partners and advisors, available to all studio and portfolio companies.
A proprietary network of senior operators, corporate decision-makers, and technical specialists, actively deployed to support portfolio company growth.
The 7mps Studio operates on an open innovation model — we do not build in silos. We run structured R&D programs, source breakthrough ideas from external researchers and entrepreneurs, and nurture early-stage projects from concept to fundable venture. By connecting academia, corporate R&D, government mandates, and startup agility within a shared framework, we accelerate the journey from idea to market. This approach allows us to identify proprietary deal flow, co-develop IP, and build ventures with embedded commercial partnerships from day one.
7mps designs and operates open innovation programs for corporate clients, government bodies, and academic institutions — connecting established organisations with early-stage ventures to accelerate technology adoption and create measurable commercial outcomes.
We design and operate structured innovation programs for corporate clients, including startup scouting, proof-of-concept sprints, internal venture building, and technology partnership brokering — delivering tangible commercial outcomes against defined enterprise objectives.
We design multi-stakeholder innovation ecosystems connecting corporations, academic institutions, government agencies, and startups around shared technology priorities — creating structured pathways from research to funded commercial deployment.
