Agent Infrastructure Investment Thesis

Agent infrastructure is a compelling investment opportunity. Here's why.

The Market Opportunity

Large addressable market: Every agent deployment needs coordination infrastructure. Thousands of teams building agents.

Growing adoption: Agent adoption is accelerating. More agents mean more infrastructure demand.

Network effects: Infrastructure with network effects creates value that compounds. More users create more value.

Ecosystem value: Infrastructure enables ecosystems. Ecosystems create more value than infrastructure alone.

Protocol moats: Standards that become dominant are hard to displace. Protocol moats are defensible.

On-chain state: Critical state on-chain creates switching costs. High switching costs create moats.

Network effects: More users make infrastructure more valuable. Network effects create moats.

Ecosystem lock-in: Ecosystems built on infrastructure create lock-in. Ecosystem lock-in creates moats.

Early market: Market is still forming. Early infrastructure defines standards.

Inflection point: Agent adoption is at an inflection point. Infrastructure demand will accelerate.

Standards forming: Standards are forming now. Early infrastructure influences standards.

First mover advantage: Early infrastructure has advantages. Network effects favor early movers.

Market timing: Market might be early. Infrastructure might be premature.

Standard risk: Wrong standards might not win. Standards battles are unpredictable.

Competition: Large players might enter. Competition is intense.

Technology risk: Technology might not work. Infrastructure is complex.

Despite risks, the opportunity is compelling:

Large market: Billions in potential revenue.

Defensible moats: Protocol and network effect moats are strong.

Right timing: Market is at inflection point.

First mover advantage: Early infrastructure has advantages.

The teams that invest in agent infrastructure now will have advantages for years. The teams that wait will be playing catch-up.

Agent infrastructure is a compelling investment. The question is which teams will capture it.
