Solari Capital Exits Stealth After Deploying $350 Million on 'Programmable Reality' Bets

3 articles · Updated · Fortune · Sep 24

Summary

  • $350 million has already been deployed by AJ Scaramucci's Solari Capital, which emerged from stealth with a thesis spanning AI, biology, matter and finance.
  • The firm says its 'Programmable Reality' strategy rests on computing making intelligence, drugs, physical systems and money increasingly engineerable like software.
  • Its portfolio includes xAI, Suno, Tessera Therapeutics, Varda Space, Northwood Space and American Bitcoin, where Solari invested more than $100 million in a $220 million round last year.
  • Solari also incubates companies in-house, including Radial Health, while using the SALT conference network and backers such as Ron Conway, Eric Schmidt and Peter Diamandis to support deal flow.
  • Scaramucci pairs that long-term technology bet with a scarcity trade through Treasure Trove, arguing collectibles are a $25 trillion store-of-value market alongside gold and bitcoin.
