For Founders

Two ways to co-found with AGIS.

Bring a validated idea from your field, or step in as founding CEO of a venture we have already started.

Bring an idea

You know a problem better than anyone because you have lived it. You have evidence people will pay to solve it. You want a real engineering team and an operating back office from day one.

Join a venture

You are a domain expert or operator who wants to lead. We have validated ideas that need a founding CEO with your background.

Who we look for

What we need to see.

  • A vertical problem where AI changes the economics, not just the interface
  • Evidence of demand: paying customers, signed pilots, or a process businesses already pay for
  • A founder who will lead the company full time once validation is complete
  • Comfort with a true co-founding structure, where AGIS holds a founding stake and does the operating work

We do not invest in outside companies. We only co-found.
