AGIS

We co-found
AI companies.

Not a fund. Not an accelerator. AGIS is the operating half of the founding team: engineers, stack, go-to-market, and the back office, from day one. Only on ideas the market has already validated.

Demand first. Then code.

Paying customers, signed pilots, or a process businesses already pay people to do. A great idea with no evidence is a research project, and we are glad to talk, but it is not yet a venture.

Filter two

Applications, not infrastructure.

Foundation models are converging and getting cheaper. Durable value sits in vertical workflows where domain data, compliance, and distribution decide who wins.

The deal

You bring the domain. We bring the rest.

AGIS takes a founding stake and does the operating work: a senior engineering team, a proven stack, go-to-market, connections, compliance, and books and taxes run by our own tallybooks.ai.

Twelve months to spin-out.

Operating half of the founding team

You bring the domain. We bring the rest.

Engineering team

Senior engineers who have shipped production AI products.

Tech stack

A standard, proven stack so day one is not a research project.

Go-to-market

Positioning, pricing, and the first repeatable channel.

Connections

Introductions to early customers, operators, and investors.

Compliance

Entity setup, contracts, privacy, and industry requirements.

Bookkeeping and taxes

Books closed monthly and filings handled from the start.
