A Letter to Our Future Partners
By and · August, 2026 · New York, NY
Dear Partner,
You spent years turning hard-won judgment into software. Your product schedules the crews, wires the payroll, or routes the trucks, and your customers run their business on it every single day. The industry calls that a feature set. We think it is something more valuable. It is business logic, the programmed knowledge of how work gets done in your vertical, and it is the most durable asset in the developing AI Economy.
We started General Agentic on a simple observation. AI agents will not replace that logic. They will need it more than any user ever has. An agent is only as capable and as trustworthy as the software it can call, and the software worth calling is the software that already powers important work. Most of it, including yours, is locked behind a screen, built for hands and eyes in an economy that is beginning to work through agents.
You have probably felt the pressure to answer this moment. The board asks for an AI strategy, competitors demo their copilots, and the easiest answer is to sew a chat assistant into your product. The market calls that AI native, and software companies are spending heavily on it, yet the experience routinely falls short of Claude or ChatGPT and gets in the way of the very workflows it was meant to accelerate.
We believe the future runs the other way. The winners will treat agents as their newest users, and not as a product they must sell. Your customers will soon send agents to work on their behalf, billions of them, vastly more users than humans could ever be, and every one of them needs tools. Agents use tools just as humans have for thousands of years, and software remains the tool they will reach for. The leading software companies of the next generation will build and deliver for that user base. They will be reachable from any agentic workspace, with full governance and few frictions, through one integration at the core.
General Agentic acquires established software companies and owns them for the long term. We look for businesses whose revenue is tied to critical functions, where the downstream effect of every change is substantial, and we compound what we buy. What you built keeps running, with the people who built it. Your company name remains yours, your customers keep the product they trust, and when their agents arrive, it is still your deterministic logic in charge of the work.
What makes us different from every other buyer is what happens after the close. We repackage instead of replatform. We do not rebuild your systems, because rebuilding validated code destroys the very thing that makes it valuable. Instead, we connect your product, as it exists, to every agentic workspace your customers use. Here is what our process looks like.
Our Process
Repackage, enable, accelerate
Why does this combination win? You spent years refining features your customers run their business on. We spent ours building the system that connects software securely to every agentic workspace. An AI-native startup must spend years validating workflows you validated long ago. A customer building their own tools carries the maintenance cost alone, forever. Established software plus General Agentic’s built distribution channel beats both. The results show up where it counts: new users, higher ACVs, and stronger retention, because your product now lives seamlessly where your customers work.
We bring the capital and the technology to do this. We are two founders with backgrounds across Goldman Sachs, D. E. Shaw, Cisco, Stanford and Wharton, and we run a lean operation in New York focused on exactly two things: technology and investments.
We are realistic about AI and where the technology is headed. We have carefully studied the past fifty years of platform shifts, and have been building with AI every single day for the last four years. We move quickly, and we structure conversations around what fits you.
You made a piece of the real world programmable. We would like to help it reach a bigger market than the one you first built it for.
Warmly,
Jake Chasan & Zach Evans
Co-founders of General Agentic
