“Capital gets spent … but enterprise value doesn’t compound.”
Andrew Sanderson
Founder & CEO
MagnifyAI
… on his company’s “evolution from execution partner to capital allocator,” via LinkedIn.
Grapevine-based MagnifyAI is launching a development capital arm today, betting that AI-era founders and operators aiming for scale need more than funding. “If technology is your bottleneck,” Andrew Sanderson writes, “we want to talk.”
MagnifyAI Ventures co-invests in early-stage and growth companies—targeting startups doing between $250K and $5M in annual recurring revenue—and shows up not just with a check but with know-how, according to Sanderson. Think AI enablement, data architecture, Salesforce and RevOps buildouts, and agentic workflow automation, with equity participation in exchange.
As he puts it, “the next generation of growth will be engineered.”
Sanderson came to that conviction by an unusual route, spending years operating at the intersection of commercial real estate, enterprise technology, and digital transformation, working directly with C-suite leaders navigating the kind of capital-intensive decisions where bad architecture shows up fast on the bottom line.
“The next wave of enterprise value,” he writes, “won’t come from ‘AI demos.’ It will come from companies that build AI into their operating system from day one.”
MagnifyAI Ventures is built to break the pattern Sanderson has seen. Founders raise capital and layer AI onto data foundations that were never built for it, and end up with fragmented go-to-market systems. And agencies, he notes, tend to overbuild without aligning with strategy.
MagnifyAI itself was announced in 2025, having crossed its first 100 days around Thanksgiving. Three weeks ago, Sanderson added a name to the advisory board that carries weight in the CRM world: Mike Muhney, co-creator of ACT!, the platform widely credited with helping define how businesses manage customer relationships, joined to focus on revenue architecture and commercialization strategy.
The firm, which is primarily focused on Fortune 1000, retail, consumer goods, and technology companies needing to scale AI, lists testimonials on its website from leaders driving transformation at Salesforce, OpenAI, Snowflake, AWS, and Google.
For Sanderson, the bottom line is literal: “If AI isn’t improving EBITDA, it’s not working.”
