Decoded Ventures is a Venture Builder that supports Agentic AI companies to succeed with funding, research, development and execution.
✗Limited Pre-Seed Appetite: Most investors prefer later stages and shy away from risky, early-stage bets.
✗Endless Coffee Meetings: Founders get “come back later” feedback, but no tangible funding or market traction.
✗Slow, Conservative Capital: Due diligence drags, cheque sizes are small, and timing often kills momentum.
✗Mismatch of Incentives: Investors want global-scale proof, while startups just need resources to validate early demand.
✓Direct to Funded Pilots: Instead of waiting for investor appetite, we co-build solutions with corporates and real users—where cash and validation come first.
✓Skin in the Game: We invest resources (capital + development talent) at pre-seed, not just advice, giving startups an actual runway.
✓Market-First Validation: Every build is tied to today's market gaps and industry demand—not just a pitch deck dream.
✓Accelerated Path to Scale: By solving a real problem with paying customers, startups attract capital faster and at higher valuations.
