In this episode of Wild Hearts, host Mason Yates speaks with Armina Rosenberg, co-founder of Minotaur Capital, about how AI is transforming fundamental investing. Rosenberg explains how Minotaur’s proprietary AI platform, Taurient, ingests 35,000 articles weekly, across multiple sources and languages, to identify companies undergoing meaningful strategic changes. By automating early-stage research, Taurient reduces analysis from five days to minutes, allowing the team to evaluate far more opportunities and uncover global mispricings traditional funds may miss.
She contrasts Minotaur’s AI-driven approach with static processes at incumbent managers, noting that the firm’s edge lies in combining proprietary investment theses with AI’s scale and speed. Rosenberg shares examples, like Axon Enterprise and NVIDIA, where Taurient’s insights drove significant returns, and outlines a philosophy focused on finding companies that can double in 3–5 years or 10x in a decade, with strong portfolio construction to manage correlation risk.
The discussion also explores AI’s economic value chain, why Minotaur focuses on “picks and shovels” plays like semiconductors and data centres, and the lack of AI innovation in Australian markets. Rosenberg stresses understanding AI’s limitations, mitigating hallucinations, and teaching analysts higher-order thinking to leverage these tools effectively.
