I co-founded Aventos, an AI anime studio, after a few years doing a little bit of everything at startups — sales, GTM, frontend engineering, and a stint on the VC side doing due diligence. I build my own backend for fun, ship frontend for work, and I'm currently trying to figure out how to make an AI-generated anime that's actually emotionally powerful and not just fast-paced slop.
Aventos is an AI anime studio — short-form, AI-generated anime built end to end, from concept and screenwriting to voice, animation, and post. The bet: anime-style storytelling doesn't just work as entertainment, it works as a marketing channel for B2B SaaS companies who all sound and look the same.
We turned Aventos's internal AI-video tooling — script-to-render pipeline, batch generation, asset management — into a creative-suite platform for other studios. The first paying customer was our own production team, buying generation credits to prove it out before opening it up further.
We also landed a publisher deal for "My Cat Is a Vegetarian" and a distribution deal with BlueBox.tv to get the content out further.
An AEO (answer-engine optimization) tool — it tracks how often and how well a brand shows up when people ask ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI assistants about brand discoverability. Built for teams who want to know if they exist in the AI-answer layer, not just search.
Solo build, top to bottom — the crawling/tracking pipeline that watches what AI answer engines cite, plus the product and dashboard on top. No cofounding engineer; I wrote the stack myself.
Took it from 0 to 1 — first paying B2B SaaS customers, sales run solo alongside the build.
View the code →A deep-tech venture studio. I was the business-side co-founder — GTM, fundraising, and figuring out how to sell things nobody else is building yet.
The portfolio ran wide on purpose — everything from wetware / biological computing to building data centers on oil-and-gas infrastructure. Deep tech, long time horizons, not built for quick revenue.
Raised a $100K pre-seed round from 1517 Fund.
