We buy and build AI companies.
Descry is a private partnership. We buy AI companies, teams, and the IP behind them, usually before there's revenue or a customer, and build them ourselves. Not a VC. Not a fund. We buy outright, and we don't sell.
Most capital waits for proof.
We read the current and move first, buying ideas, IP, and young companies before the market sees what they're worth. Descry is permanent capital. We buy AI early and build it into a real company.
We don't run a fund, so there's no clock. We buy the whole company, not a slice. We'd rather own one company for ten years than ten for one.
How we work
Three stepsBuy in early
We buy AI companies, teams, and IP, usually before they have revenue or customers. We take the whole thing, not a minority stake.
Build the company
We don't hand it to a consultant. We build the product and the company ourselves, from the engineering to the first customers.
Keep it
We're not chasing an exit. We keep what we build and let it compound over years, not quarters.
All AI, at whatever stage we find it.
What we're looking at
The shortlistDescry is brand new, formed in July 2026. Nothing's closed yet. These are a few of the companies we're circling.
Evaluation and red-teaming for autonomous agents.
Identity and credentialing for the agent economy.
Foundation models for robotic touch and manipulation.
Founders and family capital who have built companies before, and want to do it again.
The people behind Descry have built and run companies in tech and finance for decades. We've operated, not just written cheques, and we've learned the hard way what actually helps a young company. That's what we bring to the ones we buy.
Started something in AI?
If you've got an idea, a patent, or a company with customers, and you're building in AI, we'd like to talk. We buy outright and give it a permanent home. Email goes straight to a principal, not an inbox.
