AROK is the perfect first deal to showcase our approach. AROK is a pioneer in demonstrating the potential benefits that AI can bring to the Venture Capital industry. The market growth for AI Agents has been extraordinary with AI Agents emerging as one of the most promising and transformative segments in the AI market growth. We expect this to be a growing future market and are delighted to support AROK on its journey."
