The thesis for the AI investor is simple. Explore the business, money, and technology behind AI. Simple, not easy. Moving forward we discovered a universal AI portfolio isn’t the best way to capture the investing nuances of AI. We’re splitting the research into three — the AI-adopter portfolio, the AI-enabler portfolio, and the AI-startup portfolio.
The AI-adopter portfolio focuses on companies using AI for competitive and strategic advantage. These are companies that will fit in with the nontech companies we’re already following like Coca Cola, Deere, and Stanley Black & Decker.
The AI-enabler portfolio focuses on companies making things happen. They’re the backbone of the Fourth Industrial revolution. Those tech companies poised to create the future. The chip bakers, cloud gazers, and candlestick makers. In the old days, you’d have called them New Economy stocks. We’re looking at companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Tesla, and Uber; where AI is core to their continued existence. We’re also looking farther down the vertical at companies like Abermarle, a lithium miner, who should have a front seat in the Electric Vehicle evolution.
As the name implies, the AI-startup portfolio profiles exciting new companies poised to change the world. Companies like LatelyAI and Prefect. Many of these are companies us mere mortals…
