Agentic AI

Applied AI — agents, foundation-model tooling, and enterprise adoption — is the fastest-moving venture category globally, and it's won on talent density, not headquarters count.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Agentic AI — AI systems that act autonomously on behalf of users and enterprises — is moving from research novelty to enterprise infrastructure faster than any prior technology wave. The regions that build the talent pipeline and compute access now will own the applications layer for the next decade; the regions that wait will be permanent customers of ecosystems built elsewhere.


POTENTIAL LOCATIONS

  • Cyberjaya, Malaysia — existing technology-cluster infrastructure and government digital-economy focus

  • Bandung, Indonesia — strong technical university base and growing tech talent pool

  • Bangkok, Thailand — active enterprise digital transformation and government AI policy interest


KEY STAKEHOLDERS

  • Universities and AI research institutes — the technical talent pipeline

  • Cloud and compute providers — supply the infrastructure layer ventures build on

  • Anchor enterprise adopters — corporates willing to pilot and co-develop applied AI products

  • Data protection and AI governance regulators — set the legal boundaries for enterprise adoption

  • Venture studios and technical accelerators — pair domain expertise with AI engineering talent

WHAT THIS ECOSYSTEM INCLUDES

  • Talent pipeline — AI/ML training programs feeding technical founders and engineers

  • Compute access — shared or subsidised infrastructure that lowers the barrier to building

  • Venture studio model — pairing domain-expert corporates with technical founders to build applied products

  • Anchor enterprise adopters — corporates willing to pilot agentic AI products as first customers

  • Regulatory clarity — data and AI governance frameworks that make enterprise adoption legally viable

HOW WE BUILD IT

This is the vertical where Partners and Programs matter most: the pipeline of technical talent, the anchor employers who commit to first deployments, and the venture studio structures that pair domain expertise with AI engineering. Because agentic AI ventures can move from subsidised pilot to investable product faster than almost any other vertical we work in, we apply the venture maturity model aggressively, and our Shared Services Marketplace supplies fractional CTOs and AI leads to ecosystems that can't yet hire that expertise full-time.
