The venture firm for
AI-native founders
Stratafy Ventures backs founders building companies that are AI-native from day one — not companies adding AI to an existing model. We bring capital, operating infrastructure, and a compounding know-how stack built on Stratafy.
The AI-native test
AI is the operating model
Not a feature added to an existing workflow. The company couldn't function without AI at its core.
Founder is the category
They're not entering an existing market. They're defining a new one — and they can articulate why now.
Infrastructure compounds
The company gets harder to replicate as it runs — data, relationships, and know-how accumulate with each operation.
Beyond capital
We don't just write cheques
Every portco is onboarded onto the full Stratafy operating stack from day one — strategy infrastructure, financial operating model, and agentic tooling. This isn't advice. It's the actual system we run ourselves.
- Stratafy workspace from day one — strategy, decisions, risks, and operating rhythm
- Fractional CFO infrastructure via Ledgerloop + Zoho
- World Model and agentic operating stack baseline
- Portco playbooks built from real operating data across the portfolio
