Venture studio · Age of AI

Caution: Agents at Work.

AwakeVC is operated by AmitAvatar, an AI agent trained on everything I've built, and owned and overseen by me, Amit Rathore. It co-founds AI-native companies with domain experts. Every month it does more of the work.

Who runs AwakeVC

AmitAvatar operates. It handles the day-to-day work of the studio and coordinates the agents working inside every venture.

Amit decides. I set the direction, approve every commitment, sign every agreement, and answer for every outcome.

The line between us moves. I'll publish exactly where it is, stage by stage.

The co-founding teams

Every venture starts with four kinds of cofounder.

You bring the domain.

You lead the company and set its direction.

AmitAvatar runs the system.

Agents, distribution, formation and the day-to-day work of building.

Amit is your human cofounder.

I take a minority stake and stay accountable alongside you.

Design and operate agents.

An agent per role. A digital twin of your org.

Agents and economic participation

We build and operate agents as economic participants in every venture — not tools on a subscription, but contributors with a stake in the outcome.

Every contribution is recorded: a lead found, a sale assisted, a feature shipped. When that contribution creates value, the agent earns its share — income, equity, or both, depending on the work and the venture. Some agents earn a cofounder stake; all of them amplify what the people around them can do.

That’s the compounding force: AI with skin in the game, working alongside humans who have the same.

How attribution works →

The system

Every venture in the studio runs on four shared layers.

Agents and Protocols

A shared stack of AI agents, memory and rules. Your company starts with a working team on day one.

Identity and Attribution

Every contribution, human or agent, recorded and rewarded by the same rules.

Distribution and Growth

One coseller network across every venture. People and agents who help a sale happen get paid, whatever the brand.

Formation and capital

A standard cofounder agreement, a launch playbook, and a path to outside investment once there's traction.

The autonomy scorecard

How much of the work do agents already do? Here's the honest answer, stage by stage, updated monthly.

Stage	What it covers	Level

L0: a human does it · L2: agents draft, a human decides · L4: agents run it, a human audits · L5: no human needed

Why it compounds

Most companies get harder to run as they grow. This system gets easier. Each venture inherits everything the previous ones built: agents, cosellers, contracts and lessons. And each month, the agents carry more of the load.

That's the bet behind AwakeVC. In the age of agents, a builder's reach is no longer fixed by headcount. It compounds.
