PreAngel Manifesto
PreAngel LLC is a permanent capital company built by a solo founder with AI co‑founders. No exits. No distributions. No “fund lifecycle.” All gains are reinvested inside a single compounding engine that behaves like a modern Berkshire Hathaway for startups and agents.
Where Warren Buffett used insurance float and industrial cash flows, PreAngel uses QSBS, AI automation, and solo‑founder velocity to build an infinite runway of AI‑native companies.
PreAngel is not a traditional fund. It is a permanent capital company with a Berkshire‑style compounding strategy, adapted to an AI‑native, solo‑founder reality. The engine has four flywheels.
PreAngel LLC is an LLC that has elected to be taxed as a C‑Corporation with the IRS. This unlocks a clean, predictable tax regime:
PreAngel focuses on domains where AI and agents are not a feature but the foundation:
Instead of hiring large teams, PreAngel treats AI as the default labor pool:
Borrowing from Buffett, PreAngel prefers long‑term ownership over quick flips:
PreAngel is consciously modeled as a Berkshire Hathaway for the AI age: same permanent capital philosophy, different playground.
Berkshire uses insurance float and industrial cash flows to compound over decades. PreAngel uses QSBS, AI leverage, and solo‑founder velocity to do the same in software and agents.
| Berkshire Hathaway | PreAngel LLC | |
|---|---|---|
| Era | Industrial & consumer economy of the 20th century. | AI‑native, software‑defined economy of the 21st century. |
| Founder Role | Buffett as investor & capital allocator. | Huan as solo founder, architect, and capital allocator with AI co‑founders. |
| Labor Model | Human‑heavy, large operating companies. | One human, many agents. Human attention is the scarce asset. |
| Capital Source | Insurance float, retained earnings. | Founder capital, product revenue, startup equity, AI leverage. |
| Tax Edge | Corporate compounding, minimal dividends. | Same corporate compounding + QSBS 0% exits on qualifying startup stock. |
| Time Horizon | “Our favorite holding period is forever.” | Same. But applied to AI‑native products and agent ecosystems. |
| Risk Profile | Low volatility, massive capital, slower moves. | Higher volatility, smaller base, faster iteration and learning. |
| Primary Advantage | Scale, reputation, access to mega‑deals. | Speed, AI leverage, early access to frontier founders and protocols. |
These are the non‑negotiable rules that guide every PreAngel decision. They combine Buffett’s discipline with an AI‑native, solo‑founder mindset.
No LPs. No forced exits. No artificial deadlines. PreAngel is designed to exist and compound for decades, not fund cycles.
The scarce resource is Huan’s judgment, not headcount. Everything else is delegated to agents and automation.
Use the structure the law provides: C‑Corp compounding, QSBS where possible, and no distributions that leak compounding power.
PreAngel backs products where AI is structural, not ornamental. If AI disappeared, the product should not make sense.
Like Berkshire’s annual letters, PreAngel expresses its thinking in writing: memos, blueprints, and manifestos that compound insight, not just capital.
PreAngel is not optimizing for a single exit or a single company. It is optimizing for the next decision, the next decade, and the next generation of founders and agents.
The PreAngel Thesis
A single founder with a fleet of AI agents, armed with permanent capital and a Berkshire‑style discipline, can build an investment engine that outlasts hype cycles and fashions.
