AI in production needs new infrastructure

Every AI product that reaches customers depends on compute scheduling, deployment pipelines, monitoring, security and cost control. Most of that stack predates GPU clusters, model inference and autonomous agents. Seed-stage companies are building its replacement now.

Where we invest

We invest in production AI infrastructure: self-healing pipelines, incident response, agent controls, and beyond.

Why us

Our expertise across cloud, infrastructure, automation, and AI gives us an edge in evaluating complex technical companies.

Check size

First checks of $100K to $250K in seed rounds. We work with founders in English and Spanish.

Deal flow

ScaleUpSummit Network, the CNCF and open source communities our general partner helps lead in Latin America, Cuemby's client and partner network, and incubators and accelerators we partner with across the Americas.
