Agot AI AI-driven computer vision digitizing restaurant operations.

My engagement with Agot began at its inception, mentoring the founder as he developed the company’s vision. Recognizing its potential early, I brought in Grit Ventures—where I was a Venture Partner—as Agot’s first institutional investor. I later served as Chief Business Officer and Board Observer, leading Agot’s fundraising efforts, securing $16M from strategic partners such as Yum! Brands ($4M) and Continental Grain Corporation ($3M) before the company reached commercialization. In addition to capital, I established partnerships with industry giants, including Yum! Brands and Inspire Brands, positioning Agot as a category-defining company in AI-driven food service automation. Agot was acquired by HME in 2024.
