Backing the next generation of agentic companies.

Why now
The agentic era is here. Most builders are still behind.
AI-native builders can now create real products faster than at any point in history. But speed alone doesn't build companies. Durable software businesses still need better orchestration, product structure, and monetization surfaces.
Minds is the infrastructure layer that turns a prototype into a product. The platform offers usage-driven monetization, agent orchestration, and a composable product surface that most founders haven't fully leveraged yet.
Minds Fund exists to back the founders doing that work at the earliest stage — and to bring them into an ecosystem built on two decades of founder relationships.
What we invest in
Six categories where we're focused.
Vertical workflow copilots
Domain-specific AI that automates end-to-end professional workflows for law, medicine, finance, or engineering.
Creator monetization tools
Products that let domain experts sell access to their knowledge per query, powered by Minds' native SATs layer.
Agentic sales & ops infrastructure
Agents that run pipelines, qualification, and follow-up autonomously for small teams that want to punch above their weight.
Internal operator systems
Enterprise agents that route, delegate, and track work inside organizations without manual coordination.
Knowledge-to-skill businesses
Products that turn documentation, expertise, or institutional data into live, queryable skills with built-in revenue.
Domain-specific automation
End-to-end task completion for specific professional contexts, from intake to output with minimal human intervention.
