Fund One.
We invest in early-stage tech founders. Bringing capital, CTO-level insight and support to help them scale.
At Meliora, we believe AI is a cognitive revolution not just another technology wave. Faster, broader, and more human than any industrial transformation before it.
AI redefines how value itself is created, not just through replacement,
but reinvention. Future value flows to those who use intelligence, both human and artificial, to accelerate financial returns.
An investment opportunity measured not in billions, but in trillions.
