Navigation Infrastructure for the Agent Economy
We built Maai by working inside real investment workflows — not demos. This thesis reflects what we've observed across VCs, PEs, and operators navigating deal flow at scale.
The Momentum Problem
Deals don't die because they're bad.
They die because momentum decays.
For investors, the most important signals live across meetings, follow-ups, research, networks, and CRM notes. But no one has time to continuously update context across all of them.
The result: strong opportunities quietly stall, follow-ups get dropped, risk goes unnoticed, and decision fatigue increases.
Why Tools Haven't Solved This
CRMs track static state.
BI tools explain the past.
Agents automate isolated tasks.
Meeting tools summarize conversations.
None answer the most important question: “What changed, why does it matter, and what should I do next?”
Meetings Are the Highest-Signal Input
Conviction, hesitation, urgency, and risk all surface in conversations.
But once the meeting ends, that signal evaporates.
Maai starts with meetings because they contain the richest, most actionable intelligence — and turns them into a living system that keeps opportunities moving forward.
The Navigation System
Signal Layer
Raw inputs from meetings, documents, markets, and systems — captured automatically.
Agent Layer
Persistent analysts that enrich, monitor, and suggest — within defined guardrails.
Navigation Layer
A governed decision surface that helps teams prioritize, re-route, and decide with context.
Our Approach
We build incrementally:
- 1Start with a real workflow — not hypotheticals
- 2Prove value — measure impact on decisions, not engagement
- 3Compound capability — each workflow becomes infrastructure
No big-bang transformations. No black boxes.
Trust Through Control
Maai is designed for sensitive decision environments.
We start with the tightest possible controls: private by default, explicit sharing only, human-in-the-loop for all actions.
Governance scales as trust grows — not before.
Maai Momentum is where we start.
Deal momentum navigation is where we're going.
