It’s been a while since our last newsletter update, and we’re excited to share some news with you below!

Zaiku Homology: Our team has been quietly working on a platform called Homology.ai backed by InnovateUK, the UK government’s innovation funding agency. The platform is aimed at helping enterprise organisations train and deploy useful & practical privacy-preserving AI models to the cloud.

We believe we’re at the beginning of a new era for cloud computing. An era in which we’ll see the cloud become fully ubiquitous and fuse with emerging decentralized technologies. This will lead to what we coined the Homomorphic Internet. In this new paradigm of computing, we anticipate the default posture for outsourcing cloud-based computation to be a zero-trust policy for most enterprise organisations with business sensitive & proprietary data. The current cloud data security tools fall very short of enabling a seamless transition to the new paradigm. Hence, there is a huge opportunity for new data security technologies to fill the gap. Of course, the team has a lot of work ahead of us to polish and further develop the system.

The brand name ‘Homology’ comes from the mathematical concept of Homology which plays an important part in the Algebraic Topology techniques deployed within our system.

Deep-Tech Incubator: As a natural progression from our quantumformalism.com community, we are planning to launch a deep-tech accelerator in Q1 2022 with the first cohort coming from technical founders who, have or will have, completed our free advanced mathematical courses. We’re particularly excited about teams building technical solutions around topics such as AI/Geometric Deep Learning, where the mathematics from our free courses are relevant.

Would you like to partner with us?
We are of course open to partner with other early-stage deep-tech investors and more established tech accelerators, thereby helping us to build a useful network of mentors that can provide our cohorts with industry connections, resources, advice. In addition to opening up new opportunities to give them the best shot at succeeding. If you would like to learn more, please fill out this form.

Overall, this year marks the beginning of Zaiku Groups moves towards becoming a new breed of deep-tech private equity firm. A PE that will not just try to build ventures from scratch, but one that will also invest and/or acquire talented academic founded early-stage deep-tech companies that are aligned with our mission & values.

That is all we have to update for now. Many thanks for reading!
