Lookout's read

How Lookout reads this fund.

A decade-old shop with rare staying power and a genuine multi-stage (venture + liquid) playbook. Bets like Prime Intellect and Pluralis show it leaning hard into decentralized AI training — a thesis we rate highly. Pakman's growth-venture pedigree adds underwriting discipline.

Fund thesis
