Thesis

The AI wave isn't just another tech shift — it's birthing new industries, obliterating old ones, and reshaping humanity on a scale never witnessed. Perceptive backs agentic AI founders building the future, not what's trending today.

Likely not a fit for

Non-AI companies; AI companies without a genuine agentic core; founders without strong technical or domain conviction.
