Peleus looks for companies, patents, software and underlying technologies whose capability reaches beyond the market they were built for. We do not acquire technology to hold it. We acquire the capability inside it, and create the conditions to develop it further.
Privacy,
rebuilt around you.
We acquire sophisticated technology and rebuild it for individuals.
Governments, corporations and large institutions can call on extraordinary technology to protect their information, their infrastructure and their digital environments. Individuals cannot.
Peleus exists to change that.
Built for institutions. Rebuilt around you.
Built for institutions.
Advanced technology is usually built to the requirements of governments, corporations and specialist institutions. Its architecture, its economics, its interfaces and its assumptions belong to the institution it was built for.
Built for individuals.
Peleus looks for technology whose underlying capability can be rebuilt around one person, with the budget, the environment and the expectations of an individual life instead of an institution.
This is not a claim that institutional technology is automatically better. It is an observation that serious capability is usually concentrated inside institutions, and an intention to adapt the right parts of it for individuals.
We acquire technology. Then we ask what it could become.
Acquisition is the first step. What follows is the work of understanding a technology closely enough to rebuild it around a single person.
Peleus takes the technology apart. What it does, why it works, what it assumes about the people and environments around it, and what would have to change for it to serve a different user entirely.
Technology built for institutions assumes institutional budgets, institutional staff and institutional environments. Peleus takes those assumptions apart and rebuilds the capability around one person instead.
Privacy is not a single feature. It is an architecture. Protecting a person's data, identity and digital autonomy takes several technologies working together as one system.
Sophisticated technology counts for nothing until people can use it. Peleus builds complex capability into tools that fit ordinary life.
We build by acquiring.
Peleus acquires companies, intellectual property, software and underlying technologies that have the potential to become something else.
The asset may be a company, a software platform, a patent portfolio or another technical foundation. We judge it by what becomes possible once its capability is rebuilt around a person, rather than by what it does today.
Your private life belongs to you.
Your data is personal.
Your identity is personal.
What you say is personal.
The systems built around them should treat them that way.
Peleus is working towards a future where serious digital protection is not reserved for institutions with extraordinary resources.
Technology capable of protecting governments and corporations should also be capable of protecting the individual.
Peleus is building towards a future where serious digital protection is a normal part of individual life, not a privilege reserved for institutions with extraordinary resources.
The future of privacy should not belong only to institutions.
It should belong to people.
Build what technology can become.

- The most powerful technologies are usually built for the most powerful institutions. Peleus exists to change that.
- Approach
- Acquire. Understand. Redevelop. Integrate. Deliver. Sophisticated technology, rebuilt around one person at a time.
- Objective
- Practical tools that protect an individual's data, identity, privacy and digital autonomy.
- Vision
- A future where serious digital protection is a normal part of individual life, not a privilege of institutional power.
