Our Work

Colibrí Institute produces open research and coordination infrastructure to improve how venture ecosystems function particularly as technology policy and AI reshape incentives and outcomes.

Venture capital research & field intelligence

Rigorous, open-access research designed to improve how venture capital functions, with particular relevance for emerging managers.

We build the evidence base through original research, synthesis, and field intelligence focused on venture’s real dynamics: incentives, market structure, and ecosystem durability.

Technology Policy, AI & Capital Systems

Inform technology policy by addressing how venture capital shapes who builds, benefits from, and is impacted by technology, with particular attention to artificial intelligence.

We build practical bridges between tech policy, AI, and venture capital systems through open research and reusable frameworks that help stakeholders steer innovation toward wider benefit.

Ecosystem Convening & Field Building

Create space for cross-ecosystem alignment grounded in evidence and designed for action.

We synthesize fragmented insights into shared language, priorities, and roadmaps designed for practical use.

Our Research Principles

  • Decision-useful, not theoretical | So decision-makers can ask: “What decision does this change?”

  • Method-forward | Clear assumptions, limitations, and definitions.

  • Neutral positioning | We convene and publish from an independent stance, focused on shared understanding.

  • Reusable artifacts | Publish what others can apply independently.
