Thesis
Resilience 1.0 was insurance. Resilience 2.0 was mitigation. Resilience 3.0 is about staying operational when the world doesn’t go back to “normal.”
We believe value will concentrate in businesses that help individuals, enterprises, and cities absorb shocks — demographic, climatic, or technological — without losing their ability to function and thrive.
ManiKapital invests in Resilience 3.0: tools, services, and platforms that make societies safer, more adaptive, and more livable under persistent stress.
Focus Areas
Where we like to spend time:
- Ageing & Longevity Infrastructure – care, work, and financial systems for societies where 30–40% of people are 60+.
- Critical Systems Reliability – software and services that keep energy, data, logistics, and health systems running.
- Climate Adaptation & Protection – solutions for heat, flooding, and other chronic climate stresses.
- Community-Scale Resilience – education, tools, and networks that help households and small enterprises withstand shocks.
What we look for in founders:
- Obsessed with the problem, calm under pressure.
- Comfortable at the intersection of technology, regulation, and human behavior.
- Building products that matter when things go wrong, not just when things go well.
- Intent to build enduring, responsible companies — not just quick trades.
Approach
