Building with
Descent builds AI into established companies, and co-founds new ones with the operators who understand an industry better than anyone. We bring the engineering and the operating playbook that took a $1.5bn digital bank to more than 70 agentic systems in production. You bring the domain.
Off-the-shelf AI is a commodity. The lasting value is in a specific industry, its data, its workflows and its judgement, rebuilt around AI from the ground up. That takes people who have spent years in the industry, paired with a team that can build. We are the second half.
We embed with your team and put agents into the work that drives revenue and cost: real systems your people run every day. It keeps us close to the problems worth solving.
Solve the same problem across enough businesses and a venture reveals itself. Our client work funds the build and surfaces the ideas worth backing; the strongest become companies.
For the biggest opportunities we partner with a domain expert and build a new AI-native company together, taking equity so we win when it works. What once took years and millions now takes months.
Whether you want AI built into your business or a new company built alongside you, we should talk.
