SHAPING OUR FUTURE
PORTAL is a venture capital firm that invests in early-stage, data-driven startups developing Positive Technology — innovations that sustainably grow economies, improve the human experience and promote individual sovereignty over technological control.
As practitioners, we are uniquely qualified to uncover data-driven innovations. We generate alpha and deliver outsized returns by leveraging our unfair advantages to back exceptional entrepreneurs who are building tomorrow’s transformational data technologies.
Our Philosophy
STEWARDING humanity in the age of AI & BIG DATA.
We filter our investments for Positive Technology.
Modern technology can have an exponentially positive (or negative) impact on humanity. The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence has brought to light the growing costs to society – both evident and hidden. There is an increasing awareness and demand for trustworthiness and individual sovereignty in data practices. As a result, we see evidence of a human-centric movement forming toward standards for the ethical and responsible uses of AI & Big Data in academia, research institutions, governments, and industry.
These trends point to increasing demand for and thus greater financial returns from Positive Technology. We will lead the market toward double-bottom-line returns by being good stewards of innovation.
