en.Wedoany.com Reported - Israeli venture capital fund Aleph is backing AI-native venture studio Inevitable AI Group (IAIG), providing it with $6 million in pre-seed funding, with the goal of creating and launching dozens of new software startups by the end of this year. IAIG co-founders Nimrod Lehavi and Ofer Bar-Or said that the software development ecosystem is rapidly evolving, making this the ideal time to enter the space.

IAIG seeks founders and entrepreneurs with ideas and ambition, helping them launch AI-native applications and services within weeks using autonomous software development technology. Lehavi and Bar-Or believe that AI systems like Claude Code can rapidly generate code for nearly any application, enabling smaller teams to design, build, launch, and scale software businesses faster than ever before.

The co-founders said they employ a rigorous and meticulous process when selecting ventures to support, targeting entrepreneurs building AI-native products in established software markets where demand is proven and there is clear room for AI to improve efficiency, enhance accessibility, or reduce costs. Once promising startups are identified, IAIG provides the tools and support needed to build products and assists in designing and executing go-to-market strategies to scale at maximum speed. Because IAIG extensively uses AI tools throughout the company-building process, its startups can achieve functionality comparable to more established software vendors within weeks of launch and accelerate growth at significantly lower operating costs than competitors.

Lehavi told SiliconANGLE that AI is transforming how software businesses are built and marketed, helping them grow faster than ever before. "Many software companies today were designed for a different technological era," he said. "We see an opportunity to create a new generation of companies that can move faster, operate more efficiently, and deliver greater value to customers."

IAIG's startups are AI-native from day one, thereby avoiding many of the challenges traditional software companies face when adopting AI. For established companies constrained by complex architectures and outdated operating models, integrating AI agents that automate business processes is extremely difficult; AI-native startups, by contrast, can design their entire business development and operational strategies around automation, allowing them to operate with much smaller teams, Lehavi said.

IAIG's model is already delivering results. Since its founding in January, it has helped launch nine startups and plans to help more companies get off the ground by year-end. Among its portfolio companies, Corebee Chat Ltd., an AI-native customer support software company, is competing with incumbents such as Zendesk Inc., Freshdesk Inc., and ServiceNow Inc. in a market generating up to $25 billion in annual revenue. Corebee's founders built the platform on the premise that human involvement is no longer required—its AI agents don't route tickets to human agents but instead read tickets, retrieve information, and respond within seconds, delivering a better customer experience and priced far more affordably due to the lack of human labor. Zendesk's entire architecture, including its data model, workflow engine, and pricing, assumes humans are always in the loop, so adding AI requires extensive redesign.

Delivering enterprise-grade products at lower cost is a common pattern among IAIG-backed companies. Other startups in its portfolio include Spiceform Inc. (creating AI-driven forms that dynamically adapt to users), VScout Ltd. (an AI-native recruitment platform), Keply Ltd. (an automated customer success platform), Rumore Ltd. (AI-driven reputation management software), and Mahakala (an AI-based intelligent scheduling application).

Eden Shochat, a partner at Aleph, said these startups all dismiss the notion of a "SaaS apocalypse." He said AI hasn't killed SaaS—it's reshaping it. "AI enables customers to create tools tailored to their needs on demand," he explained. "We support IAIG because this team understands that the winners of this shift will be those building entirely new categories of software."

Holger Mueller, an analyst at Constellation Research, said AI is having a significant impact across many areas of the enterprise, proving especially useful in code creation and business process automation. "This is exactly what IAIG is trying to leverage as it seeks to spawn new challengers in the SaaS industry. This is good for enterprises, because mature SaaS vendors certainly need more competition, which may push them to improve their offerings. But if IAIG dreams of displacing these incumbents, it will by no means be easy. It can automate the code creation side effortlessly, but the maintenance and support aspects of its business will be far harder to automate. We'll have to wait and see."

Both Lehavi and Bar-Or have extensive experience building successful software companies. Lehavi previously helped build and grow fintech company SimplexCC Ltd., which was acquired by Nuvei Corp. in 2021 for approximately $300 million. Bar-Or has had a 30-year career in technology, spanning industries including telecommunications, semiconductors, machine learning, and internet infrastructure.

According to Bar-Or, the most important thing when starting a software company today is figuring out what the market truly needs and then delivering it. "AI is dramatically lowering the barrier to execution, so entrepreneurs can spend more time solving meaningful problems and less time on the complexities of software development," he said.
