AdValorem Frontier Alternatives Fund IWe Are a Time Machine Fund.

Which side of history does your legacy want to be on?
The only feeling more expensive than getting it wrong is having been invited into the DeLorean before it hits 88mph, and not getting in.

A warrant is usually 18–24 months. Ours are 10 years, court-confirmed.
That is the time machine.

Strategy

Three Engines Aligned.

Like the flux capacitor — it only works when all conditions hit simultaneously. In 2024, they did. A Delaware LP master vehicle with a Cayman offshore feeder. Engine Three is the primary engine; Engines One and Two are along for the ride because we know how to pick them.

Engine 01 · Seed SPVs
Five Underwriting Signals
AI · Robotics · Quantum · Single-Name SPV
  • Co-investor signal — a name-brand fund in the round means 100 analysts already said yes
  • Founder-market fit — not just quality, but why this founder, this problem, this decade
  • Distribution insight — the go-to-market thesis survives the pivot; the product rarely does
  • Capital efficiency — can $1.5M reach a real Series A signal?
  • Pro rata + info rights — power law requires follow-on ability
5–10x

7–10 yr
Engine 02 · Pre-IPO Secondaries
Five Diligence Gates
Late-Stage · Negotiated Secondary Access
  • Anthropic, PsiQuantum, OpenAI, Neuralink, xAI, Perplexity, Loft Orbital
  • 20%+ confirmed discount to last primary round — below 20% we pass
  • 18-month minimum cash runway — below that, dilution stacks on price risk
  • Preference stack mapped before entry — senior prefs can vaporize headline marks
  • ROFR mechanics confirmed — some companies block secondaries entirely

Why Now

Three Engines Aligned. Simultaneously.

The window opened in April 2024. All three conditions hit at once. That convergence is the thesis.

Engine 01
Frontier Tech Still Private

Anthropic, PsiQuantum — the next decade’s leaders haven’t IPO’d. The DeLorean is idling at the starting line. Get in now.

Physical AI is on the factory floor. Quantum is moving from research to production stacks. The single-name early-stage window is narrow and asymmetric.

Our process

Single-name positions. Written underwriting framework weighing co-investor signal, founder-market fit, distribution insight, capital efficiency, and follow-on rights.

Engine 02
Secondary Market Repricing

Discounts to last round near 27%. Allocators with conviction set prices. That’s the fuel — available now, not staying cheap.

Median time-to-IPO has stretched to 11+ years. OpenAI, xAI, Perplexity, Neuralink, PsiQuantum remain private. Late-stage secondaries are the only durable access path.

Our process

Single-name positions through Forge, Hiive, Caplight, Notice — triangulate all four. Last primary round price is fiction by month six. We underwrite the liquidity gap.

Engine 03 — Primary
The Robinson Ruling — Apr 2024

2,800+ equity warrants: severable, transferable, enforceable for 10 years. One ruling created a new asset class. A judge froze time.

Judge Shad Robinson (W.D. Texas) ruled the Newchip / Astralabs warrants severable from service obligations and freely transferable — creating a 10-year exercise window on instruments acquired at bankruptcy prices.

Our process

Three conditions must be true simultaneously: qualified financing event occurred, defensible $25M+ valuation path modeled against a public comparable, and contingency counsel confirms enforceability. All three — we move. Any absent — we hold.

The Robinson Ruling — Three Provisions
What the court actually said.

Five orders on public PACER. Free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances. Severable. Transferable. AdValorem did not construct this — a federal judge did.

Severance
The equity survives even though Newchip never delivered services. Contract breaks. Equity doesn’t.
Extension
Standard warrants run 18–24 months. Judge extended every one to 10 years from signing date. 5–9 years of runway remain. That is the time machine.
Investment Right
Up to $750K per company at the first qualified financing round — at the historical price, not today’s mark.
