Strattam Capital, a private equity and growth investment firm, has announced a strategic partnership with Isazi, an applied AI firm specializing in production-grade AI solutions. The collaboration integrates AI as a core operational capability across Strattam and its portfolio companies, bringing new product innovation, faster decision-making, and measurable business impact.
AI Leadership Joins the Team
As part of the partnership, Isazi co-founders Ashley Anthony, Dario Fanucchi, and Obakeng Moepya have joined Strattam Capital as Senior AI Advisors, expanding the firm’s bench of experienced operators and ensuring hands-on guidance for portfolio companies. Casey Clinkenbeard, Strattam Principal and Head of AI, will lead AI strategy, execution, and governance across the firm, working closely with Isazi to align initiatives with company roadmaps.
“This partnership exists because Isazi has already delivered real product innovations across our portfolio that are creating value today,” said Robert Morse, Founder & Managing Partner of Strattam Capital. “What matters is whether AI capabilities actually show up in products, customer outcomes, and financial metrics.”
Real-World Impact Across the Portfolio
Since collaborating with Strattam, Isazi has worked with roughly half of the firm’s portfolio, delivering AI-powered products at Netstock and SciSure, with additional projects underway.
-
Netstock: AI solutions have turned the company’s data lake into actionable capabilities that enhance product features and customer outcomes.
-
SciSure: AI-driven applications allow researchers to customize experiments based on protocols, unlocking more precise drug discovery insights and improving scientific outcomes.
Isazi is also leading the development of AI Diligence, a platform designed to provide new portfolio companies with a concrete AI roadmap and value creation plan on Day 1 after acquisition, institutionalizing AI capabilities from the outset.
Speed and Time-to-Production
Central to the partnership is a focus on Time to Production (TTP)—the measure of how quickly ideas move from concept to production-ready solutions. By compressing ideation, problem formulation, and deployment, Strattam and Isazi aim to accelerate product innovation, improve decision-making, and reclaim the most constrained resource in any organization: time.
“Over the past year, the Isazi relationship has grown organically as we have completed many successful projects across the portfolio,” said Clinkenbeard. “Today’s announcement responds to the portfolio-driven demand for dedicated resources, clear ownership, and proof that this work can be delivered. We now have multiple products live, and this partnership institutionalizes that capability.”
Strategic Implications
The Strattam-Isazi collaboration positions portfolio companies to compete effectively in a rapidly evolving AI landscape, providing dedicated access to expert AI teams rather than fragmented vendors or experimental tooling. By embedding AI deeply into products, operations, and investment strategy, Strattam aims to generate measurable value, accelerate innovation cycles, and maintain a competitive edge as AI becomes table stakes in enterprise software.
“This partnership positions our companies to compete and win in the period between now and when AI becomes table stakes in enterprise software,” Morse concluded.
