AI Cognitive Ventures

At AI Cognitive Ventures, our boutique approach to venture capital sets us apart. We maintain a strict limit of 200 accredited investors per fund and syndication, allowing us to concentrate on identifying and supporting AI startups with the potential to become category leaders. This structure ensures that our investors receive focused research, disciplined oversight, and high-touch engagement.

Why Invest with AI Cognitive Ventures?

Expertise in AI
Our team includes experienced professionals with deep knowledge of artificial intelligence and machine learning. We combine technical expertise with venture discipline to identify startups aligned with our forward-looking investment thesis.

Selective Access
We target $10 million per fund, with the capacity to expand up to $15 million in oversubscription cases. Minimum commitments are $100,000 per fund and $25,000 for syndication opportunities. This selective model provides investors access to high-quality opportunities typically unavailable to broader markets.

Personalized Attention
With a limited investor base, we maintain the ability to provide individualized support, ensuring investor goals and interests are addressed within the framework of our disciplined strategy.

Portfolio Achievements
Since its inception, AICV has supported more than 100 AI-focused startups. Many have achieved meaningful milestones in fields such as compute infrastructure, defense autonomy, and applied AI. These outcomes underscore our commitment to identifying and nurturing high-potential ventures.

Commitment to Innovation
Our mission is not only to deliver strong financial outcomes but also to accelerate innovation in technologies that will define the coming decades. We are deeply committed to backing founders who push the frontiers of AI responsibly and ambitiously.

Membership and Referrals

To preserve our selective approach, new investors are admitted only as capacity allows. Referrals from existing clients are valued and taken into account when considering new applicants. While not all applicants are accepted immediately, qualified investors may be placed on a waitlist for future opportunities.

Moving Forward

As we expand our reach with the support of a Singapore-based private equity group, our governance and discipline remain unchanged. We will continue to combine concentrated ownership, institutional diligence, and global access to back the next generation of AI category leaders.

Thank you for your trust and support. I look forward to continuing this journey together.
