VENTURE BUILDING
Building a Venture Studio for Frontier-Tech Moonshots
Human-led. Agent-supported. Moonshots for humanity.
I'm building a human-led, agent-supported venture studio for frontier-tech moonshot companies in Switzerland. It will work alongside founders as an operating partner, from first concept to a company that runs, sharing risk and upside through equity, supported by fees. It is at its first stage: thesis, method and venture operating model are being developed.
Helping founders build the company around the venture, not just the product.

THE STUDIO
A Company-Building Partner
We are building a human-led, agent-supported venture builder and long-term operating partner for moonshot ventures. We partner with founders, researchers, and mission-driven teams at the concept, MVP, and early operating stages to transform ambitious opportunities into durable companies. We combine strategic judgment, hands-on company building, product and commercial execution, governance, management support, capital access, and a reusable agent-supported operating system that helps each venture research, validate, build, launch, and operate with greater speed and discipline.

THE PRINCIPLE
People Decide. Agents Extend the Team.
People set direction and make the consequential choices: purpose, relationships, judgment, accountability, capital and governance. AI agents take the repeatable, bounded and reversible work: research, validation, coordination, documentation and reporting. Agents extend the team; they do not replace founders or executives.
SELECTION
What Counts as a Moonshot
Ventures that may improve human life, expand human capability, address major planetary challenges, strengthen long-term civilization, enable scientific and technological progress, or support humanity’s future beyond Earth.
01
A Large Problem
A human or planetary problem whose resolution would materially improve lives or resilience.
02
A Non-Incremental Solution
A radically better model, technology or scientific insight, not a marginal improvement.
03
A Path to Operation
The idea can become a real product, service or company.
04
Scalable Impact and Economics
It can reach many people or critical systems and become financially durable.
05
Responsible Deployment
Its success does not depend on undermining human agency or externalizing serious harm.
A very large problem, a radically better solution, and a credible sequence of experiments that turns the idea into a company.
