Active ventures
Mahiri
Founder / Principal
Mahiri is an Autonomous Business Operating System. Instead of ten vendors and a coordinator, you get an always-on operating team of AI agents — each assigned a domain. Strategy. Execution. Outreach. Content. Pipeline. Finance. Resilience.
They communicate with each other. They act on behalf of the business. They surface exceptions that require a human, and handle the rest themselves.
