We Build and Back AI Ventures
A founder-led AI studio
We build companies, back them with capital, and ship them from our own technical and hardware lab.
What We Do
Build & Invest
We don't just advise on AI—we build AI companies and back them with capital. We build the minimum viable product (MVP) that gets each venture to its Series A, then stay on as investor, advisor, and board member while others lead later rounds. See our companies.
Technical & Hardware Lab
A 4,500 sq ft lab that takes ideas from concept to shipped product: GPU compute, a full machine shop, and an RF/electronics bench. The engine behind everything we build. Inside the lab.
Built in our lab

Why It Works
- We build the MVP that earns each venture its Series A—skin in the game, not slideware.
- An in-house technical and hardware lab carries ventures from prototype to physical product.
- Deep expertise in local AI, GPU compute, RF, and embedded systems.
- Founder-led, hands-on engineering and capital behind every venture.
We don't just advise on AI. We build it.
