We’re a Seed Plus Venture Fund backing founders building and enabling Intelligence-as-a-Service, driving AGI adoption across functions. Our hypothesis is simple and laser-focused; We partner with founders who are disrupting organizational functions, using intelligence instances, which would result in unprecedented defensibility via an information flywheel moat, and dominating market share. We back founders whose mission is to supply core infrastructure and an enablement layer for this transition from Generative AI to AGI. We believe that there will be many winners in AI--not just the handful of mega-tech firms. The quality and reliability of AI systems will not just be a function of who can amass the most raw compute. Access to non-public insights and training data will allow specialist AIs to create powerful solutions that will consistently outperform generic platforms. Were always looking to connect with founders who see the world the way we do.
