Katie Haun, founder and CEO of Haun Ventures, outlined the firm's investment strategy around AI agents during a Bloomberg Tech 2026 panel in San Francisco, signaling a shift in VC focus toward autonomous systems.

Haun discussed how AI agents represent a critical next phase in artificial intelligence development, moving beyond current language models toward systems capable of independent decision-making and task execution. The venture capitalist emphasized emerging technology opportunities across multiple sectors as AI agents mature. Haun Ventures' investment approach prioritizes teams building foundational infrastructure and applications that leverage autonomous AI capabilities. Haun highlighted the importance of identifying frontiers where AI agents can deliver measurable value, from enterprise automation to specialized domain applications. She noted that venture strategy must balance backing bold technical innovation with practical commercial viability. The comments reflect broader VC industry recognition that AI development is transitioning from large language models to more specialized, purpose-driven systems. Investors are increasingly evaluating companies based on their ability to deploy agents effectively rather than simply scaling model parameters.
