Q2 2025 Portfolio Update: HauerX Holdings

Here’s what I’m up to these days: Post-TGG, I’m all-in on AI, and it feels great to be back in re-founder mode. My mission is building a $100M portfolio of AI-driven tech companies and solution providers that turn innovation into market leadership. AI represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to power meaningful business outcomes, elevate brands, and deliver measurable ROI.

Why HauerX Holdings?

1. Real AI Impact: Too many organizations approach AI as an experiment, impressive demos without real traction. We focus on measurable wins and genuine scale, moving AI from pilot to proven results.

2. Integrated Ecosystem: AI thrives when it’s fully integrated. We unite advanced technology, commercial frameworks, and a hands-on partner network to quickly move your organization from concept to real-world execution, skipping pilot purgatory.

3. No BS, Just Results: We align AI directly with your strategic business objectives and top talent, unlocking growth, reducing costs, and generating new revenue streams. No hype, just impact.
