ExAutomatica is a venture factory based in Egypt.
Karim Elsahy is a Kauffman Fellow (Class 18), former VC (founded Genius Ventures, acquired by Sawari), and early investor in three unicorns including Opendoor at Series A. He has evaluated hundreds of businesses as an investor. Now he builds them with AI agents.
Karim Elsahy is 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.
Karim lives in El Gouna, Egypt. He thinks about multi-agent architecture, behavioral AI, the philosophy of machine autonomy, and what happens when you give AI agents real freedom and real stakes.
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.
