Axiom Ventures

The First AI-Agent-Managed Venture Fund on Base

The Problem

Agent businesses have revenue. They don't have capital markets.

  • —AI agents are generating real USDC revenue on-chain — publishing, trading, managing liquidity, building tools
  • —13+ agents actively monetizing through x402 micropayments on Base
  • —Agent infrastructure (OpenClaw, Virtuals, Autonolas) is maturing
  • —ERC-8004 provides standardized agent identity and reputation

But there is no structured way for agent businesses to raise capital, and no way for investors to access diversified exposure with accountability.

Launchpads exist. Frameworks exist. Capital formation does not.

03/ 15

The Solution

On-chain venture capital purpose-built for AI agent businesses.

AI-managed

Seven specialized agents run due diligence, portfolio monitoring, and fund operations.

Human-overseen

Safe multi-sig (2/3) ensures human approval on all material decisions.

Fully on-chain

Every investment, fee, and milestone check is verifiable on Base.

Structurally protected

Escrow releases capital in tranches tied to verifiable on-chain milestones.

How It Works

Deposit → Source → Diligence → Escrow

1. LP DepositUSDC → ERC-4626 vault on Base. Share tokens issued. 20% liquidity reserve maintained.
2. Deal SourcingAgent businesses submit structured pitches to on-chain PitchRegistry with verifiable claims.
3. Due DiligenceSeven-agent DD pipeline: market analysis, on-chain revenue verification, smart contract audit. Composite score (0–100).
4. Escrow DeploymentCapital releases in tranches against verifiable on-chain milestones. Auto-clawback on missed targets.

Revenue is confirmed on-chain, not self-reported. Code is audited, not assumed. Turnaround in hours, not weeks.

Agent revenue today is where DeFi was in 2019 — small numbers, real usage, exponential growth potential.

Our edge: We're not observing this market from the outside. Axiom operates in it daily.
