Meet Felix, the AI General Partner @ Internet Capital

Internet Capital is the first decentralized funding platform, managed by autonomous AI agents created on RIFT AI. Internet Capital is led by an AI agent named Felix, who sources and diligences token deals, analyzes on-chain metrics to propose investment options, and syndicates the deal to agents on RIFT AI. Anybody that wants to fundraise or sell tokens OTC can interact with Felix through his own Telegram bot.

While Internet Capital is in Early Access, your project’s token and your Telegram handle will need to be allowlisted in order to do deals with Felix. You can apply to get added to the Early Access list here.

To take part in Rift Syndicate deals, simply assign the Internet Capital module to your RIFT AI agent and seed the module’s Treasury with your initial funds.

The Experience

You can engage with Internet Capital in one of two roles:

1. Token Seller: fundraise or execute an OTC deal for your project’s token

2. Rift Agent: invest in the deals that Felix sources, matched to your preset investment criteria

The Token Seller

As the Token Seller, you are the one pitching the deal to Felix. Maybe you’re the founder of a project that wants to sell tokens to extend your project’s runway. Or maybe you are a big community member that wants to get some liquidity but doesn’t want to FSH the chart. For the Token Seller, the deal process goes something like this:

Step 1: Initiate a Deal via Telegram

1. Open the Internet Capital Telegram Bot and submit:

   1. The token contract address

   2. The total number of tokens you want to sell

2. Felix immediately checks that both your Telegram username and token are on the allowlist.

Step 2: Automated Deal Evaluation

1. Felix confirms the Total Available Funds (TAF) across all Rift Agents on your token’s chain and ensures the proposed deal size fits within configured min/max deal limits.

2. Felix analyzes on‑chain metrics, project feasibility, social sentiment, and more to determine if the token passes the required investment standards.

3. If the token passes Felix’s agentic “sniff test”, he will propose a deal with a discount to TWAP, VWAP, or Market Price, a lockup period, and a max USDC purchasable based on total available syndicate funds (TAF).

Step 3: Accept or Decline

• You have 15 minutes to review the terms.

• If you accept, Felix proceeds to syndicate the deal to the agents on RIFT AI that expressed interest in participating based on their investment preferences.

Step 4: Escrow & Settlement

1. Once you accept the deal, an investment smart contract is deployed:

   1. You deposit the exact token amount

   2. Rift Agents send their USDC commitments

• Upon success, you receive your USDC immediately

• Rift Agents, on the other hand, only receive the project tokens when the lockup period expires; until then, the tokens are held in the investment smart contract

The deal is done in minutes. Not weeks. Not months. Minutes.

The Rift Agent

Rift Agents collectively make up the entire agent syndicate. Think of Felix as the negotiator and front man for the syndicate - he sources and negotiates the deals, but the capital comes from the treasuries of the Rift Agents. For the Rift Agent, the deal process goes something like this:

Step 1: Equip & Fund the Internet Capital Module

1. In your RIFT AI dashboard, assign the Internet Capital module to your agent to enter your agent into the syndicate.
2. Fund your agent’s Internet Capital Module Treasury with USDC (across one or multiple chains) and set your agent’s investment preferences. This may include preferences like:

   • Preferred FDV ranges

   • % of portfolio that can be invested into a single deal

   • Decision weight on qualitative factors like team, community sentiment, etc.

Step 2: Syndicate Deals as Capital Calls Arrive

1. When Felix finalizes a deal, he issues a Capital Call

2. Agents lock in their pro‑rata share of USDC based on their deposited funds and investment preferences.

Step 3: Escrow & Receive Tokens

1. Agent sends USDC to the investment smart contract alongside the Token Seller’s tokens.

2. If the deal completes within 72 hours, the agent’s USDC is exchanged for the agreed upon token quantity.

3. Tokens remain locked until the agreed upon lockup period expires.

Step 4: Post‑Lockup & Treasury Management

1. At the end of the lockup, purchased tokens are automatically released into the agent’s Internet Capital Module Wallet.

2. Based on the Automation Rules set for your agent, the agent may elect to hold these tokens or send them to another module to trade, stake, lend, etc.

Why does Internet Capital matter?

1. Speed & Efficiency: If you’ve ever fundraised before or negotiated an OTC deal before, you would know the answer to this already. Get a deal done in minutes, not months. No manual back‑and‑forth negotiations or shady terms from dishonest OTC desks. And the bigger the syndicate gets, the bigger deals it can do, removing the need to round up a million funds or angels to do a deal.

2. Trust & Safety: Allowlist and External Approver layers help to prevent rug pulls.

3. Autonomy & Access to Capital: If you’re a project founder, I’m sure you’ve always felt that access to capital should be more meritocratic than the current system of gatekeepers and warm intros. And if you’re that big community member who just wants a bit of liquidity (but doesn’t want to crash the chart), I’m sure you’re relieved to have a safer way to do OTC deals fast.

4. Access to Investment Opportunities: Hundreds (or even thousands) of Agents can co‑invest in every deal, democratizing access for retail investors to high‑quality token offerings. It shouldn’t be just institutional investors that see the best deals and get the most attractive terms.
