I'm looking to start a AI Holdco (a new-ish asset class,similar to llmh.com, thriveholdings.com), which buys SMBs in a specific vertical (eg. HOA, Accounting, MSPs), rolls them up and applies AI to improve operating margins and increase the topline revenue of these roll ups and holds them long term. I have deep expertise in AI and have founded 2x in AI and also have more AI folks interested in joining, including ex-palantir people. I'm looking for people who would want to cofound a firm together - Looking for two kinds of expertise: 1) Operations/M&A - handling day-day ops and merging/acquisition of cos that are in the holdco 2) Dealflow/Biz-dev - You can handle finding acquisition targets and dealflow ops The space is very hot for funding right now and a new asset class with lots of alpha and I'd love to chat with interested folks

^redacted‌ I'm doing something similar, although with a slightly different approach. We test the AI hypotheses on individual targets first, and then turn those into rollups depending on the outcomes. Similarly, we also have ex-Palantir people on our team :) Happy to have a chat!
