GIGA Venture

GIGA Venture is a London-headquartered engineering and manufacturing conglomerate established by founder Roozy Penrose. The initial concept for the company originated in 2018, inspired by Peter Thiel's observation that courage is in shorter supply than genius. After years of analyzing STEM verticals, the company was officially registered in 2023. Penrose, a serial entrepreneur with a history of launching 11 ventures and achieving six successful exits, has a background as a child prodigy in mathematics, robotics, and astrophysics. His entrepreneurial journey began at 17 with the sale of his first startup.

The company's operational framework is built on three core tenets: leveraging artificial intelligence, creating a startup fund, and developing internal projects with the potential to reach unicorn status. GIGA's diversified interests span several high-technology sectors, including the development of defense satellites, self-landing rockets, and biotechnology aimed at life extension. A key component of its strategy is 'Ada,' an advanced AI system described as an "AI scientist" designed to understand the universe's fundamental laws. This AI underpins much of the company's development work, with the stated goal of accelerating rocket design by up to 80%. In the space sector, GIGA plans to develop self-landing rockets for European markets, deploy defense satellites for UK and European agencies, and establish a geostationary orbital space station to facilitate missions to the Moon.

The firm also operates a venture capital arm, GIGA VC, which will commence a $120 million fundraising round in late 2025. This division aims to identify and nurture startups with high growth potential, leveraging its AI technologies to forecast success. The business model involves financing these ventures through collaborations with family offices, venture capital firms, and corporate venture capital from Fortune 500 companies. Additionally, GIGA is developing 'CoPilot AI,' an AI assistant targeted at Fortune 500 companies to reduce backend operational costs. The long-term ambition is to achieve a form of machine-brain symbiosis and establish GIGA as a major global technology player by 2030, alongside names like Microsoft and Tesla.
