We believe that understanding the diverse needs of the consumer paired with what technologies like Data Science and Artificial Intelligence can accomplish to analyze those opportunities is the key to a successful consumer driven investment.
Consumer technology businesses are well poised for exponential growth and we believe that the overall sector represents an attractive target market given the size, breadth and prospects for growth.
