FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Open Minds and our research platform.
What is Open Minds?
Open Minds is a dedicated research collective focused on identifying and decoding high-conviction opportunities in emerging and niche asset classes. We turn complex, evolving investment themes into clear, actionable narratives.
Who are your primers designed for?
Our research is built for sophisticated allocators - family offices, boutique funds, and thesis-driven specialists seeking decision-grade research on unconventional asset categories. If you need conviction rather than consensus, we're building this for you.
What does a primer include?
Each 10-20 page primer is a complete due diligence framework covering strategic positioning, unit economics, operational how-to guides, a comprehensive risk ledger, benchmarking data, and active monitoring metrics.
How is Open Minds different from a bank research report?
We have no balance sheet exposure or deal mandates. Our analysts are incentivized solely by the accuracy and utility of their research. Every asset class is analyzed through a consistent, standardized framework - enabling cross-sector comparison that bank reports rarely provide.
What asset classes do you cover?
We're starting with Energy Transition, Music Rights, and Digital Assets. Near-term coverage includes Film Finance, Litigation Finance, and Reinsurance. Our long-term goal spans tokenized assets, specialty finance, media IP, carbon markets, and more.
How often is research updated?
Each primer includes active monitoring metrics and trigger points. We provide ongoing coverage updates as market conditions evolve, ensuring your framework stays current.
Can I request research on a specific topic?
Yes. We welcome research requests from our partners. If there's an asset class or investment theme you want analyzed, reach out through our contact form and we'll assess it for our pipeline.
How do I get access?
We're currently in private beta, partnering with a select group of analysts and high-conviction investors. Request access through our contact page to join the early investor list.
Can I contribute as a researcher?
Open Minds connects independent analysts with institutional-grade research opportunities. If you have deep expertise in a niche asset class, get in touch to discuss collaboration.
What does it cost?
Pricing details will be shared with approved beta partners. Our goal is to provide exceptional value relative to the depth and quality of institutional research we deliver.
