Venture Studio · Toronto
Niche today. Category tomorrow.
We move first.
ShortCircuit is a venture studio at the frontier of AI agents,
tokenization, and the ownership economy. We find
opportunities before they have names, build fast enough to own
the niche, and ship products that challenge how things are supposed
to work.
We're not waiting for the future. We're building it.
The best opportunities look like bad ideas until they don't.
We move at startup speed.
We think at civilization scale.
Ownership is not a feature.
It's the product.
Technology should give people sovereignty, not dependency.
The first decentralized AI index. Build, backtest, and tokenize custom indexes on AI infrastructure tokens — deployed as ERC-4626 vaults on 0G network.

openclawforbusiness.io ↗The next niche is already in motion.
01
We don't spend a year planning. We build a version, put it in front of real people, and learn faster than anyone else in the room.
02
The best ideas sound wrong at first. We actively seek positions that feel contradictory — that's usually where the real opportunity lives.
03
Every category starts as a niche. We find it before it has competition, build the best product there, and grow from a position of ownership.
04
We build products where users own the value they create. Not as a gimmick — as a fundamental design decision. Users as stakeholders, not customers.
05
Products should give people more control over their data, money, and future — not less. Sovereignty isn't a feature, it's an architectural commitment.
06
Shipping is how you learn. We iterate in public, adapt to signal fast, and move at a pace the market doesn't expect from a studio.
Beyond the venture work, we build for people who can't pay. Developing nations, underserved communities, the ones that technology usually passes by. We believe the same tools we build at the frontier should be available to people on the ground.
Humanitarian projects don't follow an ROI model. They follow a different kind of math — reach, dignity, and access. We fund these with the commercial work, and we build them with the same intensity.
"Every short circuit needs a ground."
Partner with us. Pitch us. Join us.
Or just say hello — we read everything.
Or find us on the frontier — we're usually there first.
