01 / Laboratory
We don't fund startups.
We manufacture them.
A venture studio and SaaS product incubator. We build AI-native software companies end to end — from concept to market, under one roof.
01
AI Strategy
We pinpoint high-value problems where AI creates a real, defensible advantage — then map the path from model capability to product opportunity before committing to build.
02
Product Engineering
Our teams turn validated ideas into polished, AI-native software — architecting LLM capabilities into the core of every product rather than bolting them on as features.
03
Products Launched
We bring differentiated software from concept to market — taking products from first prototype to live, in users hands, with the quality and readiness to compete.
02 / Portfolio
Products in the wild.
A growing catalog of AI-native products spanning entertainment, commerce, financial intelligence, interactive fiction, and conversational voice — live, in beta, and on the way.

An adventure you type.
ORPHEUS is a parser-driven interactive adventure game system combining natural-language interaction with deterministic game worlds, puzzles, persistent state, and data-driven storytelling.

Filter anything, anywhere.
Filter EngineZ is a generic, isomorphic, framework-agnostic TypeScript data filter engine for filtering arbitrarily-complex data on arbitrarily-shaped datasets, anywhere JavaScript runs. Describe filters as rules in code or JSON, and the engine evaluates them, returns what passes, and tells subscribers when that changes — with Roaring Bitmaps, an R-tree, and MinHash LSH under the hood. Apache-2.0 and running live across six front-end stacks.

In Development
The tee time, booked for you.
Tee Time Concierge is an automated golf booking assistant that monitors high-demand course platforms and attempts your booking the instant a reservation window opens. It works through ranked backup courses and times, scores candidates by likelihood, and coordinates rounds across friend groups — so you get the best tee time without the midnight scramble.
Voice Conversation Engine
In Development
Your voice, in conversation.
Ovance is a real-time voice conversation and orchestration engine — knowing what to say, what to route, and when to stop talking and listen. It integrates with the call-routing and telephony layers a platform already runs, so teams can bring natural, owned voice inside their products without handing the conversation to a third party.
A conversation engine, not a script.
Hear
Full-duplex streaming speech recognition and turn detection designed to tell a pause from an interruption from an "mm-hm." — the engine keeps listening while it speaks, so it can stop mid-sentence the moment a caller breaks in.
Decide
A conversation orchestrator that keeps context throughout an exchange and across conversations from the same speaker, so a returning person doesn't have to start over. It follows the owner's rules and chooses the next move: answer, take a message, or route the conversation.
Speak
Replies stream back sentence by sentence in the owner's voice, with a target response latency of 500 ms or less, so conversations feel live rather than robotic.
Under the hood.
Ovance is built from components INNOV8 Ventures engineers in-house and shares across its products.
Conversation Orchestrator
The conductor of every call. Listening, thinking, speaking and yielding run as one coordinated system, so Ovance can stop mid-sentence when interrupted and remember only what the caller actually heard.
Voice Doubles
Each voice is cloned from a short, guided conversation with its owner, alongside a persona that captures how they talk. Voices are intended to be trained and served on our own inference, not handed to a third-party voice vendor.
Task-Specific Model Routing
Each job is routed to the model best suited to it: fast models for live turns, deeper reasoning where there's time, and private local models where the data demands it. Designed to be provider-agnostic.
Multi-Critic Refinement
For work that isn't real-time (building personas, summarizing calls, drafting follow-ups) a generator drafts and a panel of specialist critics checks accuracy, tone and safety before anything ships.
Light-Speed Rules Engine
A deterministic engine designed to evaluate rule sets across hundreds of thousands of records in milliseconds. It narrows the options before the AI chooses, so the model can only pick moves the owner's rules allow.
Streaming Speech Pipeline
Designed end to end for a target response latency of 500 ms or less, with full-duplex audio so listening and speaking overlap naturally. Tuned for real phone-line audio as well as apps and the web.
