looking for investors - AI native holdco

I’m exploring relationships with investors/operators who may be interested in reviewing AI-native SMB acquisitions in the future, specifically in specialized staffing, workforce services, and labor-heavy B2B service businesses.
The thesis is not “replace workers with AI.” It’s using AI to improve operational coordination, reduce repetitive admin burden, increase recruiter/dispatcher productivity, improve reporting/compliance, reduce no-shows, and help smaller fragmented businesses operate at a much higher level without losing the human relationships that make them valuable.
The focus is on founder-led businesses with:
* recurring/repeat demand
* fragmented ownership
* operational inefficiency
* strong local customer relationships
* workflow-heavy environments where systems can materially improve operations
Especially interested in:
* industrial staffing
* logistics/warehouse labor
* healthcare staffing
* field-service coordination
* adjacent labor-heavy B2B services
The long-term vision is a permanent-capital holdco model focused on operational improvement and disciplined acquisitions rather than short-term financial engineering or aggressive roll-ups.
I currently work in AI/product consulting and am intentionally structuring this patiently and long term. The goal is to reinvest heavily into operators, systems, and future acquisitions rather than maximizing short-term personal cash extraction.
Not raising a formal fund or asking for hard commitments right now. Primarily looking to connect with:
* SMB acquisition investors
* ETA/search fund investors
* operators in staffing/logistics/services
* family offices
* AI operators interested in real-world service business applications
* people comfortable with deal-by-deal acquisition investing
Would love to connect with others thinking about AI-enabled operational improvement inside fragmented service businesses.
