Angel-backed venture studio

Building many small AI businesses
to find one outsized winner

A paid-operator AI venture studio designed for angels who have capital and ideas, but not the technical or operational capacity to execute efficiently.

The operating model

  • Zoltan — Full-time operator
  • AI, SaaS, automation, infra
  • £20k / month

The portfolio logic

The concept is deliberately unemotional: build 30–50 AI / SaaS products cheaply and quickly, knowing most will fail — and that one or two may return everything. we can generate several apps that produce 4,000+ monthly customers.

100× outcome definition

A 100× return is defined via cash dividends or a sale of a single product, not paper valuation.

The maths

  • ~£25m annual revenue
  • ~200,000 subscribers
  • ~50 products
  • ~4,000 users each
  • ~£10 / month

Why this works

These numbers require no category dominance — just small, useful products with narrow audiences.

Equity framing

  • 90% — Angel pool
  • 5% — Bill Smith
  • 5% — Zoltan

Operators are paid to execute.
Angels own the upside.
