AI services built for investors and their portfolio companies.

01

Portfolio AI Readiness Assessment

A rapid, cross-portfolio assessment that benchmarks each company's AI maturity, identifies the highest-value AI use cases, and prioritizes the investments with the best risk-adjusted return.

02

AI Application Accelerator for Portfolio Companies

VSP's five-week AI Application Accelerator delivers a production-ready AI system to a portfolio company in one focused sprint, creating a tangible asset and a repeatable template for the rest of the portfolio.

03

Embedded AI Teams

VSP's AI Pod model places a small, high-output AI engineering team inside a portfolio company for 3 to 6 months, accelerating the AI roadmap without building a permanent headcount commitment.

04

Investor Advisory and Deal Support

VSP provides technical due diligence, AI capability assessments, and post-close integration planning for investors evaluating or acquiring AI-adjacent businesses.

Portfolio-wide AI in three steps.

We start with the full picture, prioritize by impact, and execute directly inside portfolio companies with whichever engagement model fits.

Step 01

Portfolio Assessment

VSP evaluates AI maturity and opportunity across the portfolio in 2 to 3 weeks, prioritized by investment size and exit timeline.

Step 02

Prioritized Engagement Plan

Define which portfolio companies get which services in which sequence based on the assessment.

Step 03

Execution

VSP delivers directly to portfolio companies using whichever model fits each situation: accelerator, embedded team, or advisory.

Why Investors Work With VSP

01

Engineering-Led, Not Consulting-Led

VSP engineers build real software. Our work produces deployable assets that increase company value, not decks that sit in a folder.

02

Portfolio Efficiency

A single VSP relationship gives your entire portfolio access to AI engineering expertise at a fraction of the cost of building those capabilities individually at each company.

03

No Conflict of Interest

VSP is not a strategic investor and does not take equity. We work for the portfolio company's success, full stop.

AI Is the Most Scalable Value-Creation Lever in Your Portfolio

The investors who help portfolio companies build AI capabilities in 2025 will look prescient in 2028. VSP makes that fast and low-risk.
