Who is Laniakea Research?

​

Laniakea Research specializes in technological innovation and financial research. We believe that future market developments can be predicted through deep analysis and fundamental economic principles:

​

• Economies of scale & learning curves – How cost reductions and increasing efficiency can (re-)shape markets/ industries

​

• Creative destruction – The economic process where innovation replaces and makes obsolete old ways of doing things, resulting in the continuous cycle of new industries creating and destroying old ones

​

• Technological convergence – The powerful trend of previously separate technologies merging into new, disruptive systems

​

• Network effects – The exponential value created as more users or participants join a network

​

• Cognitive inertia – The psychological resistance to change, which can create significant opportunities for those who see beyond the status quo

​

Our focus is on industries undergoing rapid change due to technological disruption. We specialize in developing custom research methods to fully grasp the broader economic impact of these dynamic situations, allowing us to make better informed investment decisions.

​

What do we do?

​

Our mission is to uncover the long-term investment opportunities created by disruptive technology. We publish original research on technological advancements and their ripple effect across industries and companies. By identifying the "winners" of this change, we make long-term investment decisions with a 5 to 10-year horizon, relying on our proprietary fundamental research to guide our strategy. We do not engage in any form of short-selling.

Why “Laniakea”?

​

Laniakea is a Hawaiian word that means “immense heaven”, “open skies”, or wide horizons”. It was chosen for the galaxy supercluster home to the Milky Way, honoring Polynesian navigators who used knowledge of the sky to navigate the Pacific Ocean.

 

Just like these navigators looked to the skies, we use our expertise in economic principles, financial modeling and technology as our guiding stars to navigate the complex “ocean” of financial markets. Our name reflects our commitment to seeing the bigger picture and looking beyond the immediate horizon. It is a constant reminder to extend our perspective, understand the rapid changes shaping the world, and identify future opportunities.
