AI Startups Mentor & Agentic AI @ Microsoft

The truth is that most venture capitalists would not invest in a founder that presents his team as agents. 

We like to hype the notion of Solo-founders building billion dollar companies with no team and many agents that are doing the work. 

Having a co-founders team, is a part of the traditional VC model, and the dynamics of co-founders that bring different experiences is a risk mitigating factors. 

There are some VCs that are experimenting with the idea, and building mechanisms. 

The ticket sizes are low, the support is limited and the risk is high. 

Personally, I'm a big believer in solo-founders but that not only vibe code, but they vibe build. 

I love founders who are what I call full-stack entrepreneurs. They do coding, marketing , fundraising, hiring - they can handle the entire "entrepreneurship stack". 

Having those founders adding AI agents to who can do marketing, operations and allow them to manage them, is the ultimate efficient way for solo-founders and also co-founders to accelerate company building. 

With that, founders who are building with agents, need to understand that reality and expect maybe 5x or 10x rejections from investors. 

Building a team of AI agents as co-founders is still a huge risk for VCs
