We See the Pattern

While the industry watches the AI tsunami and debates what it means, we're building the companies that ride it.

Our Investment Thesis

The Wave Isn't the Threat.
The Inability to Read It Is.

Everyone sees the AI tsunami coming. The water is receding. The industry is frozen—waiting for smarter models, better alignment, "trustworthy" AI.

They'll wait forever.

The model will never be trustworthy. The architecture can be.

Pareidolia builds companies that find the pattern in the chaos. Not by hoping AI behaves, but by constraining it structurally. Not by waiting for the perfect wave, but by learning to surf.

GPT-5. GPT-6. Claude 4. Whatever's next. The waves just keep coming—each one bigger than the last. The skill isn't surviving one wave. The skill is surfing.

Companies That Ride the Wave

Each company finds the pattern others miss—and turns chaos into deterministic outcomes.

Equilateral AI

Architecture that makes trust irrelevant

71 specialized agents. 150+ models tested weekly. Deterministic output by design. When you constrain degrees of freedom, you don't need to trust the model—you know exactly what you'll get. Every time.

HappyHippo

The data already knows

HR with AI embedded. Objectivity your gut can't provide. While others run on feelings and anecdotes, HappyHippo finds the pattern in workforce data—flight risk, bias, performance—before humans even notice.

30+ years architecting enterprise systems. From ADP's first SaaS products to modernizing global fintech platforms, the question has always been the same: How do we keep innovation fast without losing trust?

That question led to HappyHippo—which revealed autonomous systems need governance that's explainable, auditable, and trustworthy. That insight became Equilateral.

Both represent the same bet: architecture beats hope. Constraints beat trust. Surfing beats waiting.
