A Message From the Founder 

- Adam Thomas Contreras​ 

​

At The Blacksmith Fund, a 506(c) private investment partnership, we make opportunities with the same resilience, discipline, and craftsmanship that defined generations of blacksmiths before us.

​

Our story begins with my great-grandfather, an immigrant from Mexico, who built his livelihood as a blacksmith in Houston even when the cars became more dominant form of transport. 

 

Now, as a fourth-generation Houston entrepreneur, I continue that legacy — but in today’s forge, the raw material is capital, and the transformative force is artificial intelligence.

​

Legacy Meets Innovation

• Just as the car reshaped industry a century ago, AI is reshaping business and investing today.

• Where others see disruption, we see opportunity — and this time, we’re taking the bull by the horns.

• By fusing time-tested investment discipline with cutting-edge automation and machine learning, we’re building a strategy designed for sustainable alpha.​

 

Sustainable Edge

Our approach isn’t theory. An early version of our Pinata AI delivered a 65% return, demonstrating the power of combining AI-driven insights with disciplined execution. We don’t chase trends — we engineer systems to uncover overlooked opportunities, reduce bias, and act with precision at scale.

​

Our Mission

At The Blacksmith Fund, we are committed to:

• Protecting and growing capital with discipline and integrity.

• Delivering consistent, sustainable performance across market cycles.

• Honoring our legacy while leveraging AI to forge the future of investing.

 

Whether you are an experienced allocator or new to private partnerships, The Blacksmith Fund offers a path to create value and secure the future — a future built on craftsmanship, resilience, and intelligence.
