Questions
What does the Polaris Fund invest in?
Polaris carefully selects start ups for private angel investment. It backs companies that make the AI harness portable, provable or protected, and that sell to someone who is obliged to buy: agent governance, identity and audit; evaluation and observability infrastructure; digital identity wallet middleware; post quantum crypto agility; confidential computing and attested inference; and European sovereign AI infrastructure.
Who is behind the Polaris Fund?
Polaris Group was founded by Marc Taverner, a go to market and board advisor to web3, digital asset, fintech and AI companies, and is owned by Bluesphere Solutions Ltd.
Why does Polaris focus on the harness rather than the models?
The reasoning is set out in the Polaris thesis, Investing in the Harness: the model is not the asset, and value moves to the companies that own the harness around it and sell to an obligation rather than a preference.
