CAI-STUDIO

AI Venture Studio

We don't advise from the sidelines. We build companies from scientific and outlier talent — from first diagnosis of an opportunity through to fundraising.

THESIS

AI is moving from models to execution. The founders best positioned to build in this decade are rarely full-time operators from day one — they're scientists, clinicians, and researchers with an insight no generalist team could arrive at alone. CAI's job is to turn that insight into a company.

CAI-BIO VENTURE STUDIO

AI × Biotech, built stage by stage.

A four-stage pipeline that carries a scientific insight from first conversation to a funded company — spanning Toronto's hospital and research network to BioBAY Suzhou.

STAGE 01

Find Founders

Sourced from research labs, hospital networks, and clinical practice — not from the standard pitch-deck pipeline.

STAGE 02

Evaluate Opportunities

A structured intake and scoring process, entered through a Diagnostic Sprint that stress-tests the scientific and commercial thesis before any commitment is made.

STAGE 03

Build Companies

A Fractional Science Advisory Layer supports the founding team on regulatory strategy, clinical pathway, and go-to-market — without requiring a full executive hire on day one.

STAGE 04

Fundraise Capital

Introductions to investors across North America and Asia, sequenced to match the company's regulatory and clinical milestones.

CAI VENTURE STUDIO — APPLIED AI

Infrastructure and agents, built separately from Bio.

Applied-AI ventures — AI agents, enterprise AI, and AI infrastructure — sit in their own vertical. The diligence bar for a clinical product and a software product isn't the same, so we don't run them through the same process.

Building now: an active pipeline across AI infrastructure and applied biotech, currently under evaluation. Named companies are shared directly with partners and capital — not published here while diligence is in progress.
