Hardware, and the infrastructure to use it
A venture studio incubating two things: robot hardware, and the infrastructure to use robots. Companies formed here receive identity, settlement and fleet governance on day one.
Robot hardware, and the infrastructure to use robots. A company formed here receives a charter, an identity layer, a settlement rail and fleet governance on the day it is formed — four of the six conditions, supplied rather than built.
Standing work
Dated, reasoned, and superseded by publishing a new version rather than by editing this one.
What we fund
Two things only: robot hardware, and the infrastructure that makes a robot usable. What a company formed here receives on day one, and what it gives up.
As at 2026-08-28How formation works
Five steps from a decision to a company with a charter, an identity layer, a settlement rail and a directory record — measured in days rather than months.

The complete list of companies formed by Botz Ventures, with formation dates and status. It is currently empty, and saying so is the point.
As at 2026-08-28The group
One organisation, three properties. Each owns exactly one claim the others may not restate.

botz.gamesWhat supplies the conditions
Four of the six are infrastructure the group already runs for software agents. That is the reason Botz sits inside this estate and not somewhere else.
| Condition | Supplied by | Where |
|---|---|---|
| 01 Embodiment | Hardware | — |
| 02 Autonomy | Models and simulation | — |
| 03 Authority | flashyID | flashyid.com |
| 04 Settlement | Flashy Ledger | flashy.gold |
| 05 Accountability | The AAO charter | flashyos.com |
| 06 Fleet | FlashyOS | flashyos.com |
The AAO standard is published open source under Apache-2.0 and is defined by FlashyOS, not here. The framework this group sits inside — Web 4 and the four conditions — is defined by 4.ventures. Safety requirements for any machine a portfolio company deploys: ISO 10218.
