UMICO
Technology
Minority positions where advanced technology solves a concrete industrial or scientific problem.
What we look for
Hard problems with real customers. Not platforms in search of a use case. The companies we back sell to industrial operators, laboratories and clinicians who measure whether the product works.
Deep technical teams. Usually founder-led, usually with research backgrounds, always with more technical depth than the round size suggests.
A long road, funded honestly. Deep tech takes longer than software. We prefer to be a shareholder who understands that from the start.
Why it connects to the rest
The professional services markets we consolidate through Paragon Capital are being reshaped by exactly the tools we invest in elsewhere — document intelligence, workflow automation, machine-assisted review. Seeing both the technology and the industry it lands in makes us better at each.
