A Venture Fund for the AI Cold War
I’m deeply interested in today’s geopolitics — and I am unapologetically pro-America.
With prior experience in private equity and venture investing, and as a serial entrepreneur, I see a possible business opportunity emerging in America’s AI landscape.
China Captures Talent. America Should Back It
The Manus episode proved that Beijing will reach across borders to claim its ‘talent assets.’ America should not push Chinese-origin AI talent back into those arms. Instead, America should give the best founders a credible third path: build here, raise here, own your upside here — under American law, American capital, and American governance. I am suggesting a fund that turns a geopolitical vulnerability into a venture opportunity and strengthens U.S. AI supremacy at the same time
1. Cap-table hygiene
Help companies avoid PRC state-linked money, ambiguous Hong Kong capital, problematic SAFE-linked structures, or legacy China investor exposure.
2. IP audit
Confirm that IP was developed cleanly, assigned properly, and is not entangled with Chinese universities, labs, employers, state grants, or prior company agreements.
3. Data architecture
Ensure sensitive data is stored, processed, and governed inside trusted jurisdictions.
4. Export-control and CFIUS review
Offer early legal screening so companies do not become uninvestable later.
5. Immigration support
Help founders and key engineers navigate O-1, EB-1, NIW, H-1B, STEM OPT, and green-card pathways.
6. Customer access
Introduce portfolio companies to U.S. enterprise buyers, hyperscalers, government-adjacent customers, defence primes, and strategic corporates where appropriate.
7. Narrative support
Help founders explain who they are:
“I am not a China proxy. I am an American-system founder building with American capital, American governance, and American legal commitments.”
This is enormously valuable. Many founders do not merely need funding. They need to become legible to the American establishment.
I put together a draft investment memo for a venture fund: Open Systems Ventures.
Maybe someone may find it useful — and run with it.
