  agentic development tooling, intelligent collaboration, and automated workflows.

  when it's just you and your vision," pairing capital with an operator-led founder
  concierge team. Portfolio companies include Path Robotics, Quince, Sakana AI,
  Tigris Data, Mem0, OpenArt, Cusp, Simular, Vizcom, and Entire. This is an API
  Evangelist network profile of the firm; Basis Set Ventures does not publish a
  public API, developer portal, or SDKs, so this record captures firm identity,
  web properties, and derived security posture rather than API artifacts.
