Intelligence needs boundaries.
AI agents will increasingly act on our behalf. We build the trust infrastructure, verification protocols and bounded authority systems that make that future safe.
Independent venture studio · Est. 2019
We co-found ambitious companies at the intersection of privacy, intelligence and infrastructure.
The studio
Capital × craft × convictionvspry partners with exceptional technologists to turn ambitious ideas into independent companies—providing capital, infrastructure and hands-on technical leadership from day zero.
How we buildOur thesis
AI agents will increasingly act on our behalf. We build the trust infrastructure, verification protocols and bounded authority systems that make that future safe.
Privacy cannot be a feature added at the end. We architect it into identity, location, finance and community products from the first line of code.
People and organisations should own their data, understand their tools and control their digital lives. Autonomy is the foundation of durable trust.
Selected ventures · 2023—2026
Seven independent companies. One shared conviction: transformative technology should expand human agency.
AI-powered loan marketplace for SMEs

Cryptographically bounded authority for AI agents and software actors. Exqub issues verifiable, revocable, post-quantum credentials that prove what an agent is allowed to do.
Visit exqub.comPrivacy-preserving location verification
A protocol for proving where you are without revealing where you’ve been. Olocus enables privacy-preserving location attestation using hash chains, zero-knowledge proofs and peer co-signing.
Visit olocus.comCryptographically sealed commitments from the future
qub cryptographically seals your words so no one—not even you—can read or revise them until the future date you set, creating provable evidence of what you committed to before it happened.
Visit qub.socialYour predicted recall on exam day
A readiness instrument for closed-book credential exams. Bring whatever you already study with and Mory maintains one number: your predicted recall across the syllabus on exam day.

A private, kinship-based social network and living cultural archive. Private by default, owned by the people in it, and built to keep a culture’s memory rather than your attention.
Visit orahoa.comThe operating system for the autonomous company
An agent-native operating substrate for the company, deployed in your own cloud. Bounded agents do the work, a deterministic kernel keeps every fact true, and humans are reserved for judgment.
Visit lagstyr.comOur approach
We combine the patience of an investor with the urgency and technical depth of a founding team.
We look for consequential problems where deep technology can create a genuinely different future—not a slightly better interface.
We shape the thesis, product, architecture and founding team together. Capital and technical craft move as one.
We reduce the idea to the riskiest assumption, build the proof and learn quickly from real people in the real world.
Each venture develops its own identity, team and trajectory—with the studio remaining a committed long-horizon partner.
What endures
Privacy is a human right. Complexity should be invisible. Security must not require surveillance. And the best time horizon is measured in decades, not quarters.
These are not positioning statements.A collective of builders
We bring experience across payments, cryptography, distributed systems and company building. We work alongside founders on the consequential details: the protocol, the product, the first team and the first proof.
