02 / In Development

The next two ventures are in early build.

Over the next phase, we will bring two to three additional ventures into operation. Each one is being built against the same bar: a real structural problem in how AI reaches its users, institutional distribution from day one, and an operating model with a clear path to durable revenue.

We don't announce ventures before they're ready to ship. Details will appear here when they are.

If you are a founder or a research group building in AI and looking for a venture partner who will operate alongside you rather than write a cheque and leave, get in touch.
