Will it be Utopia, or Oblivion?
The world feels full of potential, yet completely off its axis. The band of possible outcomes has widened, and the margin for error is deadly sharp.
At BlueYard, we invest in only two kinds of technologies: those that move us toward utopia, and those that hold the line against oblivion.
