Agentic AI. Only.
I back a small number of founders each year — B2B product, B2B service, and developer-to-developer infrastructure — all in the one field I work in every day. Small checks, fast decisions, and founder help that goes well beyond the capital.
Three shapes. One field.
I invest in one sector and only one sector. Within it, I look for three distinct shapes of company — each requires a different operating thesis, each benefits from a different kind of help.
B2B Product
Companies building agentic AI products for mid-market and enterprise buyers — vertical agents, workflow automation, and decision systems that sit inside the customer's daily operations.
B2B Service
Modern consultancies and delivery firms productizing agentic AI transformation — small teams shipping real outcomes, not decks, with repeatable playbooks and a view on verticalization.
D2D · Developer to developer
Infrastructure for the agentic stack — memory layers, eval frameworks, agent protocols, tool orchestration, and the primitives that make production-grade agents possible at all.
I don't take every pitch.
A tight filter on the front end makes the conversation on the back end much more useful — for both of us.
What I back
- Agentic AI only — not "AI-powered" as a feature
- Pre-seed to seed
- Technical founder / technical co-founder on cap table
- Shipping product within 90 days, or already in market
- Mid-market, enterprise, or developer distribution
What I don't back
- Consumer apps of any kind
- Pure infrastructure plays I can't evaluate (frontier models, GPU clouds)
- Marketplaces, social products, gaming
- "AI-powered" companies where AI is a bolt-on
Capital is the easy part.
Most of what early-stage founders need isn't money — it's an operator on the other end of the phone who has shipped the thing they're trying to ship.
Small, fast, flexible.
Strategic, from an operator.
Scaling — strategy & GTM.
A real network.
Early, concentrated, useful.
I don't write a lot of checks. The ones I write, I want to matter — to the founder, to the company, and to my own operating thesis.
A small, growing list.
