The agency model is dead.
01Hourlies, retainers, ten-person teams shipping decks. AI-native operators ship the work directly to the customer.
We build the vertical.
Every industry is being rebuilt by AI. We build the agencies that own those industries — together with founders, on equity. Not consultants. Not fees. We are co-founders for the vertical layer.

Thesis
Four bets we're making with our time.
The winners will be vertical.
02Generic AI tools have no moat. The next decade belongs to companies that own one industry's data, workflows, and trust.
Founders need substrate, not tools.
03You don't need another wrapper. You need agents, treasury, compliance, GTM — clones from a battle-tested base.
Equity is the only honest price.
04We don't bill you. We co-own the company. Our incentives are perfect because they have to be.
The pact
Two parties. One company. No middle terms.
Specifics — equity %, vesting schedule, governance — are deferred to the formation call. Here's the shape of it.
PARTY A · STUDIO
We bring the substrate.
- S.01 — The substrate. Context, agents, treasury, compliance — live in week one.
- S.02 — The capital. We fund the ramp.
- S.03 — The operating leverage. Portfolio CTO, ops, finance, legal.
- S.04 — The network. 60+ partner orgs, 18 LP funds.
- S.05 — The recovery. 3am on-call.
PARTY B · YOU
You bring the vertical.
- F.01 — The wedge. You know the industry's broken workflow.
- F.02 — First 5 customers. LOIs, paying within 60 days.
- F.03 — Operator commitment. 6+ months.
- F.04 — Vertical authority. You become the name in the niche.
- F.05 — Honesty. Blockers within 24 hours.
The substrate map

Agents
Specialist mesh, role-typed
Treasury
Token & compute pool
Compliance
Audit trail, region-scoped
Ops
