What does it take to achieve something extraordinary? It begins with seeing. Casting the widest possible net and digging deep below the surface—about people and technology, markets and businesses. Cutting through the noise of fleeting fads to home in on disruptions with the power to drive permanent change.
It’s this way of seeing that gives actions meaning and direction. It separates the trailblazers from the also-rans. And game-changing innovation from incremental upgrades.
Monoceros is a proprietary trading firm and early-stage investor. We’re motivated by a single, unshakeable belief: When you see differently, you can act originally, and achieve exceptionally.
This belief is what has driven our success as investors in the past. It’s what animates our investment approach today. And it is what will propel us toward still greater achievements in the future.
Our mission is to empower the original to achieve the exceptional.
TRETTINE
La Belle Dame’s SOH
Two men lie flat on their backs
together in the tomb
each, their hand gently clasped
around a pint, gauntlet removed…
Our eyes travel down their trouser-legs
the stone ripples with jest and ribaldry
these merry gentlemen resting together
like blood brothers in congealed memorial effigy.
Through time’s worn tunnel they hold,
supine, their gladiator’s hard pose
until we see through history’s divergent funnel
with a start of unease, their entwined toes.
Am I La Belle Dame to sculpt so poignantly
this solid evaporate vision of bar room smoke:
two blokes cradled in a pub in stone
having a good old moan about me?
No I am just a grotty ancient fairy
writing rot in tender strokes
inspired by drunken men without love or mercy.
What will survive of me? Jokes!
woke up this morning
head was in my shoes
fell off with no warning
that’s why I sing the blues
a cemetery for a bedroom
sleep in the sunrise bruise
no heads up in the dawning
that’s why I sing the blues
