We believe that ideas are valuable. We’re here to ensure a market for ideas, innovation and invention continues to thrive.
MCC isn’t shy about taking risks; we’re innovators. We build and invent business solutions, usually from scratch and we continue to lead by example. We tackle business, problem solving, and invention head on, and we have the acumen and expertise to pull it off. Our cross-disciplinary approach affords us the opportunity to work with leading inventors and pioneering companies to find creative solutions. And above all else, we have a passion for invention that drives us forward.
AI
Deciding whether our portfolio companies have the capacity to generate data -really big data is a crucial step before we undertake to ask our engineers to design algorithms with the prospect of ‘augmented intelligence’ AI or our version of AI.
As responsible investors, we want to invest in proven entrepreneurs and technologies, while keeping one eye on what may be coming towards us on the road ahead. Plus, it’s just cool to see what’s happening at the forefront of any industry, even if most ideas (and more than a few venture capital dollars) eventually burn up in the light of day. Artificial intelligence (AI), despite all the news headlines, is still a young industry with thousands of startups but very, very few companies reaching a stage of maturity where we could and should invest a few shiny coins. But it’s coming. One way to stay up-to-date is to follow the money. Many venture capital firms are betting the bank on AI, but you would be well served to watch where the best and brightest minds in the industry make their bets.
While many firms are generalists, investing in a wide range of technologies across many industries, specialization in AI is starting to take shape in the VC world.
BlockChain
The Blockchain, a novel financial technology, holds the promise to disrupt legacy parts of financial services and create new markets.
Despite a lot of hype, the blockchain technology business is still a nascent industry — particularly when it comes to venture capital investments.
Blockchain is the technology underlying bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which records each and every transaction made using them on a virtual ledger.
Although many see blockchain technology as a revolutionary innovation with a wide range of potential applications investments in the technology have been slow.
At MCC we give our teams a small initial investment and then see what they can do to craft a story and quantify the value they will be delivering to their market. No matter how hot the prospect of short term gains we want to only be involved in projects where everybody wins, our customers our customers clients, our staff, our teams and then our investors. If we aren’t delivering value to each of those groups in a defined way we consider our resources better invested elsewhere.
Building financial models is something we do for fun, it is an ongoing process with startup and always provides meaningful insight for our teams.
