Infrastructure finance for the trust layer.

The companies building the trust layer fall into a structural gap: too infrastructural and long-horizon for venture capital, too commercial and operationally complex for traditional grants. TCA’s recoverable investments exist to close that gap. The capital is patient enough for infrastructure and disciplined enough for real companies. This is infrastructure finance: not charity, and not venture.

What we invest in

• Open source: platforms that help scale the broader open-source ecosystem via model distribution, serving, fine-tuning infrastructure and developer tooling.
• Reliability: companies making open models dependable in production, e.g. via evaluation, testing and runtime monitoring.
• Privacy: solutions that let organizations adopt open models while keeping data protected, on their own terms and infrastructure.
• Speed: infrastructure that makes open systems fast to deploy and run, from serving and optimization to integration tooling.
• Support: maintenance, documentation, security response, and standing commitments serious adopters require.
• Governance: provenance, attestation, auditability, and compliance tooling that gives institutions a documented chain of responsibility.
• Public interest: AI applications that serve the public interest, such as information integrity, education and health.
