Dr. Tony Jacob Makes Strategic Moves In Texas & Beyond -

(MENAFN- Evertise Digital) Dr. Tony Jacob, a serial investor who gained attention in 2022 for leading Texas' largest private optometry business sale, has further expanded his portfolio at RORHRO Ventures.

This time, he's dipping his toes - or rather, diving headfirst - into four vastly different yet equally compelling industries: real estate, energy, telecommunications, and defense technology.

Velocis
Dallas, Texas

When it comes to real estate, many investors tend to focus on primary acquisitions, leaving the secondary market somewhat of an afterthought. But Dr. Tony Jacob, always eager to explore opportunities others might ignore, saw something in Velocis Secondary Partners , a Texas-based firm specializing in breathing new life into a somewhat underserved segment of the real estate investment world. Many view secondary real estate markets as too small or too niche to scale effectively, but Velocis sees nothing but untapped potential and a chance to bring much-needed liquidity to investors looking for strategic exits.

“I was looking to allocate to secondaries when a friend introduced me to Velocis Secondary Partners,” said Dr. Tony Jacob.“This investment allows us to bring liquidity to an often-overlooked segment of the real estate secondary market, enabling investors to unlock value in their holdings. Participating in this space means we're contributing to a more dynamic and efficient real estate investment ecosystem.”

Eckard Enterprises
Allen, Texas

Dr. Tony Jacob is no stranger to energy investments, but rather than following the conventional path of oil drilling or natural gas extraction, he's opted for a more strategic, long-term approach: investing in mineral rights. Through his involvement with Eckard Enterprises , another Texas-based firm specializing in U.S. oil and gas assets, he's acquired mineral rights in Oklahoma, supporting domestic energy production. This play aligns well with his vision of balancing financial growth with strategic resource sustainability.

“I have always been interested in investing in oil and gas, and by focusing on mineral rights, we are engaging in a long-term strategy that supports domestic energy production,” he explained.“This investment aligns with our strategy of identifying asset classes that offer long-term appreciation while contributing to American energy independence.”

Cloaked Wireless
Newark, Delaware

It's no secret that cybersecurity threats are growing at an alarming rate, and as we become more reliant on digital communications, protecting our personal information has never been more crucial. Stepping outside of Texas, Dr. Tony Jacob, always on the lookout for the next big thing in tech , saw tremendous potential in Cloaked Wireless , a privacy-first, cryptographically secure mobile virtual network operator that is tackling one of the most persistent issues in telecom security: SIM swap attacks. The company is on a mission to redefine mobile security by creating a decentralized telecommunications infrastructure that prioritizes user privacy like never before.

“I am always interested in and looking to invest in new technologies,” Dr. Tony Jacob shared.“Hopefully, this investment will address growing cybersecurity threats and rising demand for privacy-focused telecommunications solutions. Digital privacy concerns are rising, and cyber threats like SIM swap attacks are becoming more prevalent, prompting Cloaked Wireless to address an urgent and expanding need. Their approach to decentralized telecommunications could redefine how we think about mobile security in the years to come.”

Anduril
Costa Mesa, California

When it comes to national security, the old ways of doing things simply won't cut it anymore. Defense technology is constantly advancing, and Anduril is leading the charge with AI-driven autonomous security and surveillance solutions designed to be smarter, faster, and more cost-effective than traditional defense systems. Dr. Tony Jacob, recognizing the sheer disruptive power of AI in security applications, wasted no time in backing Anduril, a company that has already secured major government contracts and built partnerships with military and defense organizations around the globe.

“Technology is reshaping the future of defense and national security, and Anduril is at the forefront of this transformation,” he said.“Investing in cutting-edge defense technology aligns with our vision of supporting innovation that enhances global stability while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in AI-driven security solutions. Their high-speed evolution cycle and ability to deploy solutions faster than traditional defense contractors make this a particularly exciting investment.”
