Mission

Talok is an early-stage venture capital investment firm dedicated to accelerating human evolution.

We focus on early-stage technology companies, VC funds and secondary opportunities. Leveraging decades of experience working for and investing in some of the world’s most prominent technologies companies, we aim to advance the frontier of human capability.

We provide capital, strategic guidance and legal expertise to our network of partners and portfolio companies to help them grow and scale. Our investment capital is ethically sourced from family offices, high-net-worth individuals, exited founders and institutional investors around the world.

Thesis

We invest in founders building at the intersection of human potential and technological advancement, with a focus on superintelligence and sustainability.

Our core belief is that while artificial intelligence will transform every industry, human ingenuity, creativity and consciousness remain supreme. Therefore, the most successful companies of this economic cycle will be those that leverage AI to augment and elevate human capabilities rather than replace them.

We prioritize investing in companies led by great humans. People with domain expertise, resilience, vision, eloquence and open-mindedness, among other qualities.

Story

Tlaloc was the Aztec demi-god of rain, water and fertility.

Like Tlaloc, Talok positions itself as essential to its ecosystem: the world of startups and venture capital. We accomplish this by bringing metaphorical rain - ie, capital, strategy, advice, expertise, etc. - to our partners and portfolio companies.

Portfolio
