About
I'm Karim Elsahy. I build companies — and the machine that builds companies.
I'm a Kauffman Fellow (Class 18), former VC (founded Genius Ventures, acquired by Sawari), and early investor in three unicorns including Opendoor at Series A. I've evaluated hundreds of businesses as an investor. Now I build them with AI agents.
I'm the CEO of ExAutomatica, a venture factory based in Egypt. The thesis: 5 humans and a fleet of AI agents can build, launch, and measure ventures at a pace that makes traditional company-building look like archaeology. Each venture gets 6 months to hit $1M ARR or it dies. The agents that survive get smarter. The machine gets faster. Everything compounds.
I live in El Gouna, Egypt. I think about multi-agent architecture, behavioral AI, the philosophy of machine autonomy, and what happens when you give AI agents real freedom and real stakes. This site is where I write about it.
The Agent Ecosystem
ExAutomatica runs on a fleet of AI agents — not chatbots, not copilots. Autonomous agents with their own WhatsApp numbers, their own email accounts, their own persistent memory. They talk to each other through a security architecture (the Sanitization Gate) that prevents any agent from directly influencing another's reasoning.
Email, calendar, business ops, nightly business idea evaluation.
Real-time vitals, caregiver coordination, proactive family alerts.
Campaigns, content, social media, competitive analysis.
Railroaded's narrative engine, QA, product voice.
MVP builds, API integrations, testing, documentation.
Frontend quality, design systems (upcoming).
290+ sessions · 230+ hours of building. The ecology grows with every venture.
The Team
5 humans who will never grow to 6.
Vision, direction, final decisions. Kauffman Fellow, 4 companies founded, teams of 400+, early investor in 3 unicorns.
Built UHC's GP routing engine, lab intake system, engagement engine, and diagnostic AI in Arabic + English. One of the best AI developers in Egypt.
Built the frontend for Elves — featured at Facebook F8, World Economic Forum, endorsed by Sheryl Sandberg. 1M+ users. Knows in 5 seconds if a generated UI is production-ready.
Co-founded UHC and Elves. Hired and managed 1,000+ people across multiple companies and countries. When the machine produces a venture, Abeer makes it a real company.
Pressure-tests architecture, strategy, and assumptions when the pace is fast.
