BootstrapLabs AI VC was one of the first venture capital firms to focus on (applied) AI, more than a decade ago. We make seed and pre-seed investments, with sufficient reserves for follow on investments. We also run an applied AI venture studio that I source Advisors and EIR candidates for, with a track towards co-founder & CEO roles. I help early-stage startups with problem identification, market analysis, solution & use-case development, product-market-fit (PMF), go-to-market, business plans, financial forecasts, and preparation for next-round venture funding.
