Investment Thesis

gAI Ventures operates as a venture builder, not a traditional VC. They partner with domain experts to co-build AI companies from inception through scale, combining deep technical AI expertise with go-to-market execution. Their philosophy emphasizes ‘Vertical First, AI Second’ - starting with deep industry understanding and broken workflows, then applying AI as the solution. They are ‘high-involvement, high-conviction’ partners who share both risks and rewards with founders, moving quickly from concept to MVP to real revenue.

What Sets Them Apart

One of the most technical venture builders - co-build alongside founders rather than advise from sidelines
Compress time from idea → MVP → first customers → meaningful traction through integrated studio model
Co-invest and remain engaged until real traction achieved; not just advisors or consultants
Build agentic architectures, proprietary workflow automation, and domain-specific models designed for defensibility
World-class AI team builds first engineering platform and AI engine; design and GTM team drives distribution and growth
Partner with domain experts and industry insiders, not just technologists seeking problems
Speed as competitive advantage - go from concept to MVP in months, not years
