Agentic AI is the evolution of AI, which now allows AI systems to take initiative and complete complex workflows without human intervention and make intelligent decisions.
VCs have earmarked agentic AI as a $4 trillion opportunity in the future, as AI is expected to disrupt services, labor, and software markets across various industries.
In October 2024, $12.2 billion worth of investments was made in agentic AI, which accounted for 38% of the total funding in that month.
There are several agentic AI startups and categories that investors are excited about, such as AI-natives, systems of agents, unstructured data infrastructure, AI-powered design tools, and human-AI collaboration platforms.
Founders can reinvest in SaaS by building intelligence-first applications and adopting new design patterns that leverage agentic AI’s capabilities.
Winning AI companies will be those that own valuable data sources, solve real labor shortages, and create entirely new service categories with AI at the core.
The next 18-24 months will be a critical phase of early adoption to prove use cases and business models concerning agentic AI revolution.
Companies that win in agentic AI space will be those that address ethical concerns head-on, build trust with both users and regulators and have the best technology.
VCS and Remagine Ventures are already investing in products in the agentic AI space, such as a product manager co-pilot and an agent-to-agent service for the transactional web.
