Capital for the physical layer. after software ends.

Zhan Capital researches and invests where sovereign AI, energy systems, and digital money converge on physics. The post-software cycle is not a trend. It is a structural shift.

WHERE WE FOCUS

Three verticals. One thesis.

Each vertical represents a layer of the post-software capital stack, from physical compute to monetary settlement.

Sovereign AI infrastructure.

National AI buildout requires rare earth supply chains, physical compute stacks, and energy independence. We model the bottlenecks before capital prices them.

Energy as capital.

Baseload nuclear and renewable generation underpin AI compute and proof-of-work networks. Hashprice modeling connects energy markets to monetary infrastructure.

Digital money with physics.

Proof-of-work monetary networks convert energy expenditure into settlement finality. We model hashprice as a lens for energy allocation and monetary premium.

RESEARCH ACCESS

The physical layer is underpriced.

We publish thesis-driven research on sovereign infrastructure, energy systems, and digital monetary networks for investors positioned at the base of the stack.
