A key tenet of TAP is that sustained outperformance requires financial and organizational innovation to occur in lockstep with technical discovery. Our network approach enables us to continuously originate and match opportunities with appropriate legal and operational capabilities, and financial structures around the world.
We have established partnerships across industry, government laboratories, and academic institutions. Our capital structure solutions formalize this through structures that can absorb money with different but overlapping mandates — creating efficiencies and productive outcomes for all involved.
Our networks exhibit market properties with embedded risk management. We are often one hop away from a strong information base to help evaluate a technology or prospective partner. The idea is to distribute risk to parties in tranches where those best equipped to take the risk can be incentivized to take it while sharing the load with other participants.
In deep tech, progress requires taking risks — but not concentrating them. TAP's networks distribute risk to parties in tranches where those best equipped to bear it are incentivized to do so, while sharing the load with other participants. This gives us robust mechanisms for origination, evaluation, and execution underpinned by strong incentives.
Commercially viable companies or IP are spun out through focused initiatives. Capital recycles into the holdco through distributions, licensing, exits, or IPOs — while new spinouts are dynamically created as opportunities emerge. The holdco compounds in value whether or not any individual spinout succeeds.
TAP's capital structure is designed to absorb investment with different but aligned mandates — allowing partners with different return profiles, time horizons, and risk tolerances to participate in the same network. This creates efficiencies and productive outcomes that single-mandate vehicles cannot replicate.
