Investment Thesis

AIP Seed believes AI will fundamentally transform human progress as profoundly as the internet or smartphones. They operate with a “marathon mindset,” viewing investments as long-term partnerships rather than transactional relationships. Founded by Dariusz Żuk, they act decisively and swiftly, free from external constraints, backing visionaries who think differently and have the vision to see far ahead combined with the stamina to go the distance.
