Thesis
What we believe
01Software is becoming laborAI agents now do work, not just support it. New companies can be designed around that from the first day.
02Industry focus beats general toolsDeep knowledge of one industry’s data, workflows and customers is harder to copy than a better general-purpose AI model.
03Owners learn fastestRunning businesses ourselves shows what works in daily use. That is the experience we bring to the boardroom.
