AI venture studio · Cleveland, Ohio

An AI venture studio and seed fund for fintech.

We embed as the AI engineering team, ship into production in weeks, help the company raise, and take equity alongside our fees.

What we do

Embed, ship, raise, own.

Pre-seed and seed companies in fintech: insurance, professional services, internal audit, and accounting. And the transport operators Wren answers for.

01

Embed

Senior AI engineers inside your company from the first week, working on the operating system we built to run our own.

02

Ship

A production system in weeks, not a deck: a voice agent on your phone line, a document pipeline, an audit trail. Everything we build shows its work.

03

Raise

When the numbers hold, we help you raise: the data room, the model, the introductions.

04

Own

Equity alongside our fees, and the option to invest in your next round.

In production

What is running today.

Wren · August 2026

0

dispatch calls handled by Wren in one month for a paying medical transport operator: booked, cancelled, and rescheduled inside the operator's dispatch software.

Wren · unit economics

0%

gross margin on the service.

Before Wren: production AI systems for Torvia and Kroger.

Portfolio

Built on the operating system.

Wren · voice agent for medical transport

Wren answers a medical transport operator's dispatch line. It books, cancels, and reschedules rides inside the operator's dispatch software and hands everything else to a person. First paying operator in production.

Dube · the operating system

The firm runs on Dube: sales, marketing, engineering, and intelligence as departments in software, each with a written charter, a review queue, and a log of every decision and the context that produced it. The companies we build run on it too.

Two paths

Two ways to get an AI team.

Capability
Hire and build
Hire an agency
Dube
Time to production
Six to twelve months to hire, then the build
Scoped in months, billed by the hour
Weeks
Who does the work
A team you recruit and manage
Contractors on a statement of work
Senior engineers embedded in your company, on our operating system
What it costs you
Salaries, equity, and the hiring risk
Fees, with no stake in the outcome
A retainer or a fixed build; at pre-seed and seed, equity in place of part of the fee
Who owns the outcome
You
You, once the invoice is paid
Both of us: we hold equity and an option on the next round

Research

Why everything we ship shows its work.

The founder's research is on delegation: when an automated agent acting for a person is truthful, and what that costs. It is the question a client asks of every agent we build, and the reason each one keeps a record of what it did and why.
