Strattam Capital has announced a strategic partnership with Isazi, an applied artificial intelligence firm specializing in production-grade AI software solutions. The collaboration embeds AI as a core operating capability at Strattam and its portfolio companies, with Isazi's three co-founders - Ashley Anthony, Dario Fanucchi, and Obakeng Moepya—joining Strattam as Senior AI Advisors to provide long-term, hands-on support for AI execution.

This partnership builds on successful prior collaborations, where Isazi has engaged with approximately half of Strattam's portfolio and delivered tangible AI innovations that enhance products, customer outcomes, and financial performance. The arrangement provides portfolio companies with dedicated access to Isazi's team of over 100 professionals, including more than 70 scientists and mathematicians, to accelerate development and avoid reliance on fragmented vendors.
"This partnership exists because Isazi has already delivered real product innovations across our portfolio that are creating value today; we're building on that foundation with today's announcement," said Robert Morse, Founder & Managing Partner of Strattam Capital. "What matters is whether AI capabilities actually show up in products, customer outcomes, and financial metrics."
Isazi's approach emphasizes physics-first principles and rigorous problem-solving to deliver measurable economic advantage. The firm prioritizes outcomes over models, aligning closely with Strattam's results-driven philosophy.
"'Isazi' means scientist," said Ashley Anthony, CEO and co-founder of Isazi. "We apply physics first principles to understand a problem and then approach a solution without bias. That discipline has defined Isazi for 13 years. It's also why we align so closely with Strattam and its portfolio companies: a shared, results-driven philosophy focused on maximizing the world's most finite resource, time."
Portfolio companies have already realized benefits from Isazi's work. At Netstock, Isazi transformed the data lake into actionable capabilities, while at SciSure, the collaboration produced an AI-powered application enabling researchers to customize the platform for specific experiment types and protocols.
"Today, Isazi presented their first set of solutions … and we were blown away! Their ability to have shaped and taken our data lake and turned it into actionable new capabilities exceeded all expectations," said Ara Ohanian, CEO of Netstock.
"SciSure and Isazi believe that unlocking the power of data-driven decision-making is core to the future of drug discovery and improved scientific outcomes," added Phil Meer, CEO of SciSure. "Using Isazi's data science expertise, we have together built an AI-powered application that allows researchers to literally customize SciSure's platform based on their experiment types and protocols."
The partnership also advances AI diligence for new acquisitions, delivering concrete roadmaps and value creation plans immediately after closing. Casey Clinkenbeard will oversee AI strategy and execution firm-wide, ensuring alignment with product roadmaps and long-term goals.
"Over the past year, the Isazi relationship has grown organically as we have completed many successful projects across the portfolio," Clinkenbeard said. "Today's announcement responds to the portfolio-driven demand for dedicated resources, clear ownership, and proof that this work can be delivered. We now have multiple products live, and this partnership institutionalizes that capability."
By institutionalizing AI capabilities, Strattam aims to position its portfolio companies to compete effectively in an AI-driven market before such features become standard.
"This partnership positions our companies to compete and win in the period between now and when AI becomes table stakes in enterprise software," Morse concluded.
