Hannie is the Managing Partner and architect behind the intelligent venture system at Nami Venture Partners.
Her background spans engineering and business. She began studying machine learning in 2016 and founded a computer vision startup in 2018, before the current AI wave. After the company was acquired by a foundation model company, she shifted her focus toward the future of venture investing.
Having spent her entire career in the startup ecosystem, she works closely with zero-to-one founders on system architecture, go-to-market strategy, and the software behind frontier technology companies.
Thesis
Technology reshapes human coordination. That’s what I’ve always loved about technology.
I’ve always been fascinated by automation, but what makes this era fundamentally different from the Internet era is that, for the first time, technology itself can become an economic labor unit, not just another tool.
As agents become autonomous actors, the way organizations collaborate, communicate, and operate will completely change across both the physical and virtual worlds.
Any industry highly dependent on two-sided services or high-information-density networks will be deeply restructured.
I guess that’s why I started Nami Venture Partners as an agent-native venture framework.
- architecture determines scalability
- the next generation of applications is agents
- stablecoins rebuild global capital systems
Superpower
When founders ask Hannie for an intro, she usually pauses for a second and searches her mental database. Over time, friends started joking that she is a human version of vector search. Across AI, blockchain, B2B, and B2C, she has a rare instinct for connecting the right people, resources, and context. That instinct now shapes how Nami helps founders find the right next move.
