Agentic AI. Only.
A few founders a year, from my own capital — B2B product, B2B service, and developer-to-developer infrastructure. Same field I ship in. Small checks, fast decisions, and operator help after the wire clears. This is separate from Vstorm client work.
Three shapes. One field.
One sector. Inside it, three company shapes — each needs a different operating thesis and a different kind of help from me.
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 that productize agentic AI transformation — small teams shipping outcomes with repeatable playbooks and a clear path to a vertical.
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 up front makes the conversation afterward useful for both of us.
What I back
- Agentic AI only — AI as a bolt-on feature does not qualify
- 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 the model is a bolt-on
Capital is the easy part.
Early-stage founders usually need an operator on the phone who has already shipped the thing they are trying to ship.
Small, fast, flexible.
Strategic, from an operator.
Scaling — strategy & GTM.
A real network.
Early, concentrated, useful.
I write few checks. The ones I write should matter to the founder, the company, and the operating thesis I use every week.
One named. Two in stealth.
The two in stealth go on this page when their founders are ready to announce them. Until then, pitch me and I will tell you what I can share under NDA.
Delivery logos on this site — Mixam, Synera, Schmitt-Thompson, and the rest — are companies I have shipped with through Vstorm. They are not my investment portfolio.
