Incubating real-world AI
We're an AI lab driven by curiosity. We don't overthink the 'market fit'—we just build what we like. Sometimes that's a practical app; sometimes it's just a weirdly great game.

Incubating real-world AI
We're an AI lab driven by curiosity. We don't overthink the 'market fit'—we just build what we like. Sometimes that's a practical app; sometimes it's just a weirdly great game.
Who We Are
The Talos Group is a venture studio dedicated to incubating AI-native companies. We don't just advise — we build. Our model combines deep technical execution with strategic clarity, turning AI potential into products people actually use.
Founded at the intersection of enterprise technology and entrepreneurship, we move fast, ship often, and stay close to the problem.
What We Do
We focus on three things: finding interesting ideas, building them fast, and helping others do the same.
We spot interesting ways to use AI and build them from the ground up. From the first line of code to the final product, we handle everything under one roof because we like having our hands on the gears.
We don't believe in long wait times. We use AI to speed up how we work, getting real software into people's hands while the idea is still fresh. If we can dream it up, we want to see it running.
Beyond our own projects, we help other organizations build AI the right way. We skip the high-level consulting and focus on the technical work that actually makes an impact.
Portfolio
From day one, our ventures are purpose-built with AI, designed to tackle meaningful challenges or simply spark joy.
