Ripple Ventures: a 4-person VC running ~15 AI agents does the work of 100
A four-person VC firm handed most of its work to AI agents, and now runs like a shop of 100.
Ripple Ventures, a Toronto early-stage fund, spent a year building an internal system it calls Ripple OS. Instead of bolting AI onto one task, it wired agents into almost everything the firm does, all reading from one store of the firm's own history. It reads like a preview of the small, AI-heavy fund: a tiny team with the reach of a big one. Rivals have asked to buy it; the partners keep it as their edge.
Peers add a healthy caution. Georgian's Emily Walsh warns AI still errs on numbers, so people confirm the calls that matter. Her line: agents do the front-end work, humans keep the judgment.
