Our Investment Approach

A 'Mosaic' Research Process for Investing

At Datt Capital, we apply a mosaic research approach to idea generation, combining diverse, non-traditional sources to form a multi-dimensional understanding of each opportunity. Our process draws from:

General and financial media
Academic literature, particularly in scientific and medical domains
Legislative and regulatory developments
Social media and digital sentiment
Global industry and peer networks
Direct experience and primary field research

This layered approach allows us to identify opportunities early, often before they reach the mainstream, and build conviction through original, evidence-led insight.
