01 — BUILD
Build companies differently.
We create ventures whose products, workflows, economics and operating structures are designed around AI from the beginning.
Human-light. AI-operated. A design principle for ventures we build—not a promise of companies without people.
From opportunity to enduring company.
The AI-Native Venture Test
Ten questions guide where we focus and what we build.
- — Real Problem
- — Willingness to Pay
- — AI Advantage
- — Automation Potential
- — Distribution
- — Recurring Economics
- — Scalability
- — Defensibility
- — Human-Light Operation
- — Independent Value
Studio Tests
Beyond the venture itself, we assess whether the company-building model can compound.
- — Founder Independence — Can the venture launch, operate and grow with minimal founder involvement?
- — Venture Replicability — Can the systems, infrastructure, knowledge and operating model created for this venture be reused to build the next one?
What we look for
Clear customer pain, structurally better economics through AI, a credible path to distribution and the potential to become an enduring company.
