In this talk, George Bandarian announces a strategic pivot for his fund: moving away from being an "AI‑native" investor to focusing on the Autonomous Economy (AE). He defines the AE as a new economic paradigm where digital agents and physical robots can perform end‑to‑end work and transact value without human involvement. Bandarian contrasts this emerging model with the traditional, human‑centric economy that is limited by biology, time, and headcount, arguing that the autonomous economy’s primary constraints are compute, energy, and data. This shift frames the fund’s investment thesis around backing startups that build agents and robots capable of autonomous value creation.

So what we've decided is we're no longer an AI-native fund. We now invest in AE startups, autonomous economy. So this is where agents, digital agents on the computer and robots, physical robots, are able to execute work end-to-end that has value and also transact without any humans necessarily involved in the process. So what's interesting is we're moving from this old economy that's very human-centric, constrained by human biology and time and headcount to the new economy, the autonomous economy that is really just constrained by the compute, the energy, the data for all these agents and robots to go do work for us and create value.
