Two human partners. Two AI venture partners. One ecosystem.
Built for the speed, volume, and accountability of investing through the Organizational Singularity.

James Drage
Ex M&A, multi-exited founder. Twenty-plus years in venture capital and venture debt investing — including as an investor in OpenExO.

Platform-level diligence and support systems.
These are full AI systems, not agents, not personas. No avatars, no first names, no anthropomorphism. They work alongside the partners on every deal.
Qualitative Diligence Engine.
A specialized system trained on the ExO and Organizational Singularity methodologies, founder-evaluation patterns, MTP coherence, narrative quality, and architectural fit. Works alongside the partners on every deal to raise the floor on qualitative judgment.
Quantitative Diligence Engine.
A specialized system trained on venture capital best practices, market sizing, financial modeling, comparable transactions, and thousands of historical deals. Pairs with the qualitative engine and the partners across sourcing, diligence, and portfolio support.
The AI venture partners are platform-level systems integrated into the fund's operating model. Salim and James hold final accountability for every decision.
Backed by the OpenExO ecosystem.
Every Exponential Venture Capital portfolio company has access to the OpenExO ecosystem: 45,000 members, with 1,600+ trained coaches, consultants, and subject matter experts working on Exponential Organizations and the Organizational Singularity.
