Enterprise AI

Source

The idea

Platforms that enable enterprise AI use cases using agentic technologies, LLMs and SLMs.

Why this is interesting

  • Enterprise AI adoption is often constrained by fragmented context, integration, evaluation and approval workflows rather than model access.
  • A venture thesis describes where an investor sees possibility. It does not by itself identify a narrow buyer, an entry wedge or evidence of demand.

Possible starting points

01

Workflow evaluation layer

Measure quality, exceptions and business outcomes for one production AI workflow before expanding its autonomy.

02

Permissioned enterprise context

Give an agent the minimum verified data and actions needed for a bounded role with inspectable controls.

Questions to answer

  1. Which buyer owns a measurable outcome rather than a general AI transformation budget?
  2. What data access and approvals are required before the system can act in production?
