Why partner with us
Disruptive innovation happens at the intersection of multiple disciplines.
Most AI founders spend eighteen months building the things a
collective already has: infrastructure, brand, finance ops, design
systems, go-to-market motion, and a network of customers.
We've spent a decade building that machine. Every new venture we co-found
starts with that entire stack already in place — plus a family of sister
companies it can sell alongside, learn from, and borrow talent from.
The result: you spend 100% of your time on the thing only you can do — the
domain, the product, the customer. We handle the rest.
What you get
Ten things we bring to every partnership.
A co-founder's stake in a specialist AI company — with the operating leverage of a full studio behind you.
AI Expertise
Deep, cross-entity AI capability — from agent orchestration and NLP to computer vision, RAG systems, and production MLOps. You inherit patterns battle-tested across active ventures in the collective.
How we partner
Founder-first.
Studio-enabled.
Two principles shape every co-founding relationship.
You run the company.
You hold meaningful equity. You set the strategy, you hire and lead your team. The collective is a force multiplier, not a parent company. We're in service of the venture you're building — not the other way round.
- Co-founder equity from day one
- You own the product and customer roadmap
- Board governance, not operational veto
You don't build alone.
The studio is wired into the venture from the first week. Finance, brand, design, and an engineering bench are already in place, so you spend your time on the product and the customer rather than the scaffolding.
- Shared finance, legal, brand, and design
- Access to engineering and advisory bench
- Cross-sell from AI60 and sister ventures
Who we back
We're looking for specialists.
Not generalist AI tinkerers. People with a decade (or more) of lived experience in a specific focus — a craft, a vertical, or a market — who've seen how AI could transform it, and want to build the company that does.
Domain experts
Operators with deep vertical depth.
Healthcare, legal, automotive, manufacturing, finance, retail, HR, education — any vertical where AI is about to rewrite the playbook and you've been holding the pen.
Technical leaders
Engineers and researchers with a sharper wedge.
You've shipped AI products. You can see a more specific, more defensible opportunity than what your current employer is willing to chase.
Founders with a wedge
Former founders, GMs, functional leaders.
You've built teams, sold to customers, and hold a specific, hard-to-ignore insight about where the next durable AI business lives.
Not a fit for pre-insight founders. If you're still exploring — start with AI60 instead.
