Today, you can build a product in a weekend. You still can't fund it without a lawyer, a cap table, and a decade-long commitment.
🧩We've identified 10 open problems builders of the agentic internet need to solve.
We've set aside capital against this thesis and we're opening a Request for Builders today.

- scan an entire website
- build it as a mobile app
- prepare for App Store submission
- self-maintain the app
without any human in the loop?!?
it's so over...

10 Open Problems Builders of the Agentic Internet Need to Solve
🧩No 4: Verification without managers
Someone committed capital against a milestone. Humans and agents did the work.
Who confirms the milestone was hit?
Capital can't flow programmatically if there's no credible verification layer.
Are you working on this? Talk to us.

10 Open Problems Builders of the Agentic Internet Need to Solve
🧩No 3: Trust without institutions
No employer. No performance review. No credential.
How does a builder's track record follow them across projects? How does an agent's output history become a credential?
Reputation needs a new foundation, one that's verifiable and portable.
Does it resonate or not? Is trust without institutions even possible? Tell us more.

10 Open Problems Builders of the Agentic Internet Need to Solve
🧩No 2: Ownership without cap tables
Two people build something over a weekend. It works.
How do they split what it's worth — now and later — without lawyers, contracts, or corporate structure?
What happens when one of them is an agent? When the code was pair-written with something that doesn't sign contracts — the whole model breaks down.
Ownership needs to work at the speed things are actually built.
Do you agree or disagree?

10 Open Problems Builders of the Agentic Internet Need to Solve
🧩 No 1: Funding without equity
You can build a product in a weekend. You still can't fund it without a lawyer, a cap table, and a decade-long commitment.
The investor wants exposure. The builder wants funding. Neither fits inside a ten-year equity structure for something that might live four months.
Something has to replace this.
This is an open invite to a conversation - Do you agree? Do you disagree? Why?

Are we solving the right problems in the era of hybrid human AI teams?
Equity doesn't fit anymore. Grants don't create ownership. Code clones in a week.

The missed opportunity of VR was to give people super powers.
Gen AI VR will fast track that and it will be the killer app.
The metaverse isn’t dead, just hibernating. And it’s about to awoken from its slumber

So many new viral software products / services will get vibe coded by customers / users, who just need a solution to a problem.
The billion dollar question is; then what?
It’s kinda like inverse crowdfunding. And venture capital doesn’t have an answer to this.

Agentic skills are for AI agents what articles/blog posts are for humans. Disseminating the right information to AI agents is of higher value than charging for skills. More on this below from our CTO @aronvanammers👇
Every platform era found its monetizable unit. The web had SaaS. Mobile had apps.
So what is it for the age of agents? Agent skills feel like the obvious candidate. But they're just text. People fork them, tweak them, forget about them. Nobody uses them as-is for long.

MCP or API? Or both?
If the AI is the application, use MCP for dynamic reasoning. Every call costs LLM tokens and is slow.
If the AI builds the application, use direct APIs for token-free, zero-latency execution.
