Venture vehicles

Three exits behind us. Two vehicles in front of us.

Moative is an operator's firm. Every engagement is structured as an IP Sale, an equity stake, or a joint venture. We bring engineers, operators, and capital to the same table. The return we get is the return you get.

The Guild

For the leaders the next wave could leave behind.

The Guild is for executives running companies that won the last wave. The category is still yours. The operating model that carried you here was designed for a market that is getting rebuilt, function by function, around you. We build the AI-native replacement for the parts of your business most exposed before the market forces the issue.

You keep the category. You keep the equity. We take the piece we build.

You built the category. Rebuild it before someone else does.

Walk into the Guild
The Foundry

For operators who would rather co-found than consult.

The Foundry is for midmarket operators who see a wedge in their industry that should become a new company. You bring the industry expertise, the relationships, and the first customers. We bring the pod, the platform, and the capital to the build.

We co-found with you. The venture belongs to both of us.

The best way to predict your category is to found what replaces it.

What we have already shipped

Bets that became exits.

Mobile and Marketplace Waves

ContractIQ

Midmarket companies had no reliable way to find and vet dev partners across borders. We built the marketplace. 10,000+ vendors, 15+ countries. Exited.

Data Wave

PipeCandy

eCommerce intelligence was the missing layer for brands competing on Amazon. We built the data engine. 9M brands, nightly sales predictions on 40M+ products. Sold to Pacvue.

Consumer Internet Wave

Byond.Travel

Group travel had zero digital infrastructure. We built it. Acquired by a NASDAQ-listed travel aggregator.

AI Outcome Wave

Healthcare AI

U.S. healthcare practices are drowning in AI vendor complexity. Five tools, none talking to each other, none wired to the operating layer that drives EBITDA. The bet is in flight now.

Which vehicle fits?

Both vehicles are narrow by design. The right starting point is a one-line note describing what you would build if we were in the room with you.

  • You are an operator or executive, not an advisor.
  • You can name the wedge in your industry in one sentence.
  • You are willing to structure the engagement around outcomes, not hours.
  • You would rather co-own the result than rent us.
