Build a different category of vehicle.

Transform legacy architecture into agentic-orchestration-led, compliant systems — ready to move at the speed of light.

The goal

Direct investment consideration from Pega Systems and C10 AI Fund — and 2–5x your growth over the next 12 months.

Who we're funding
Priority: revenue + product-market fit

We're prioritizing AI-native teams already generating revenue with early PMF signal — paying customers, repeat usage, or signed pilots in an enterprise workflow.

  • Revenue or paid pilots — ARR, LOIs, or design-partner contracts
  • Agentic by design — not an LLM bolted onto a form
  • Domain operators rebuilding a workflow they know cold
  • Production mindset — eval coverage, latency, audit trails

Frontier model, cloud, and infra access wired into your build from day one.

An AI-native build studio for founders shipping agentic systems into the workflows enterprises actually run on.

The Transformation

We convert ventures built on pre-agentic-native architecture — re-engineered and prepared to move at light speed to monetize this incredible growth opportunity.

Stage 01 / Pre-Agentic

Architecture
Legacy architecture
  1. 01 · Pre-Agentic

    Legacy architecture

    Your venture today: built on pre-agentic-native foundations — hand-cranked workflows and deterministic UIs holding back the next leg of growth.

  2. 02 · Re-Engineered

    Agentic retrofit

    We re-architect the core: agentic primitives, evaluation loops, and tool-calling fabric retrofitted into your stack — engine swap, not paint job.

  3. 03 · Light Speed

    Monetize at light speed

    Launch as an agentic-native venture ready to capture the incredible growth opportunity — compounding revenue, expanding wedge, investor-ready.

Who we're looking for

The cohort is for the 03 builders.

01

AI-native architects.

You're not bolting an LLM onto a form. You're designing systems where agents plan, call tools, and complete multi-step work.

02

Domain operators who can ship.

You know a specific enterprise workflow intimately — and you can write the code (or recruit the team) to rebuild it.

03

Evidence over narrative.

Design partners, paid pilots, LOIs, or a working prototype your buyer has actually used.

04

Production mindset.

You care about latency, eval coverage, traceability, and audit trails — not just demo quality.

05

Workflow-first, model-agnostic.

You pick the frontier model that fits the job. You don't marry one.

What you get

Co-build, capital, distribution.

Co-build with C10 AI engineers.

Embedded with your team in Cambridge, every week.

Enterprise infrastructure from day one.

Direct access to Pegasystems' Launchpad and their technical team for deployment-grade agentic workflows.

Capital at the end.

Direct investment consideration from C10 Labs and Pega Ventures. Demo day in September with our investor network.

Distribution.

AWS Marketplace publishing for graduates — procurement-ready from week one of going to market.

Where we're spending our time

Workflows where agentic AI compounds.

High-volume, high-friction, currently labor-bound. Software-agnostic. Industry-specific. Workflow-led.
