Cortes Ventures

We are a venture studio building a portfolio of online businesses operated by AI

Our vision is to have an agentic operating system running multiple online service businesses completely autonomous using artificial intelligence by 2035.

Our manifesto

Most online service businesses still scale by adding people, meetings, and management layers.

As complexity rises, margins shrink and execution slows.

From the outside growth looks healthy, but inside operations become fragile and hard to control.

To solve this scaling issue, companies are slowly adding AI to automate tasks...

A chatbot here, a writing assistant there, small upgrades bolted onto the same human-dependent operation.

Our Bet

We chose to take a fundamentally different approach...

We're rebuilding the entire organizational structure of our companies from first principles using AI.

Not just the tasks, but the roles, the teams, the departments, the management layer, and eventually the full operation of a business, reconstructed in code.

Every venture in the portfolio is a live environment for building and realizing this vision.

What We Are Building

That's why we're developing an agentic system designed to run online service businesses from end to end:

Execution layer: specialized AI agents running delivery, growth, support, sales operations, and back-office workflows.

Control layer: planning, priorities, approvals, and safeguards so autonomous execution stays aligned with business goals.

Memory layer: persistent context for decisions, playbooks, brand standards, and operational learnings.

Compounding layer: each improvement in one business can be reused across the rest of the portfolio.

Why It Matters

The goal is not replacing people for the sake of replacement.

The goal is removing operational bottlenecks so human talent can focus on judgment, strategy, and product quality.

AI should handle repetitive operational load with consistency and speed.

This creates companies that execute faster, stay resilient under pressure, and grow without linear hiring.

Why This Is Bigger Than Us

This is not just an operating model for one portfolio.

This is a bet that humanity is moving toward a world where human labor becomes optional.

This is an abundance thesis, not a dystopian thesis.

In that future people can spend more life on creativity, relationships, health, and exploration instead of economic survival.

Being early matters because this transition window is where leverage is created and standards are set.

Our businesses are the proving ground that turns this vision from theory into working infrastructure.

If this model works and spreads, the path to post-work abundance accelerates for everyone.

How The Portfolio Fits

As the layers stack, the system stops being a collection of automations and becomes an organization that operates itself.

It will not just follow playbooks; it will make judgment calls, allocate resources across departments, and run a complete business without waiting for human approval.

When the OS improves in one company, every company in the portfolio gets the upgrade instantly, because intelligence compounds across the entire operation.

Adding a new business will not mean hiring a new team; it will mean deploying the OS to a new target overnight.

Eventually, the system will generate new businesses on its own:

Testing offers, validating demand, and spinning up fully operational companies with all supporting functions already in place.

And that's what we are building: not a tool that helps run businesses, but an engine that creates and operates them.
