We're at the halfway point of 2025, and AI is evolving faster than ever.In this solo episode, I share Untapped Ventures’ first Request for Startups. It’s a detailed breakdown of the core areas where we’re actively looking to invest. If you're a founder building in AI or exploring ideas, this is the roadmap for what we want to fund next.I walk through the key themes that reflect our thesis across both Agentic AI and Convergence AI. These are the ideas we believe will drive the next generation of breakout companies.Inside the episode:• Why service-as-software will replace traditional SaaS• How full-stack agentic platforms are reshaping vertical industries• The rise of outcome-based pricing and what it unlocks• Where lean AI teams are gaining massive traction• Why we’re excited about AI converging with biotech, neurotech, energy, defense, and more• The profiles of founders we love to back At Untapped, we invest from stealth and pre-salt through seed, writing checks between $500K and $2 million.
