AI Squared
Nasdaq-listed holding company (AIAI) that acquires operating businesses, keeps every employee, and deploys patented Transformational AI to grow revenue and EBITDA instead of cutting jobs.
What it is
AI Squared, formally AIAI Holdings Corporation, is a Dallas-based holding company publicly traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker AIAI since May 14, 2026, via direct public offering. Led by CEO and co-founder Todd Furniss, it acquires real operating companies with real revenue and EBITDA, retains their existing management teams under three to five year employment agreements, and deploys an exclusively licensed Transformational AI platform to create new products and amplify earnings. It targets CURA companies: Complex, Urgent, or Administrative businesses where human capacity has capped growth.
Who it's for
Founders who want an exit that doesn't gut their team, and retail investors who want direct access to AI-driven value creation through a publicly traded vehicle instead of a closed private fund.
Why it's better
- •Permanent capital with no three to five year forced-exit clock, unlike private equity.
- •Retains 100% of the acquired company's team under multi-year employment agreements — no layoffs, no rip-and-replace.
- •Deploys AI to expand what the business can become rather than just cutting costs.
- •A direct public offering gives retail investors access typically reserved for institutional LPs.
- •Nearly a billion dollars of EBITDA is already in the acquisition pipeline, sourced inbound rather than through cold outreach.
