Artem Luko

Angel investor and founder with a focus on AI infrastructure, developer tools, and early-stage startups. I back founders building the next layer of the AI stack the companies making powerful technology faster, cheaper, and more accessible for everyone. My edge as an investor comes from operating in the trenches. I founded getaiperks.com, a platform that has helped 1,000+ startups unlock millions in AI credits and reduce their cost of building with AI. That experience gave me a unique vantage point: I see firsthand which tools founders actually adopt, which ones they churn from, and where the real infrastructure gaps are. Portfolio includes positions in: - NVIDIA - Tesla - Solana - Early-stage AI startups (via Free AI Perks ecosystem & YC Deals partnership) What I look for: I'm most excited by B2B/B2C SaaS, AI tooling, and infrastructure plays at the pre-seed and seed stage especially teams where the founder has a deep technical insight that incumbents are slow to see. If you're a founder, I'm happy to connect, give feedback on your pitch, or point you toward non-dilutive capital (credits, grants, and perks) to extend your runway before your next round. If you're a co-investor or LP, let's talk about where the AI ecosystem is heading. 📧 Open to intros, deal flow, and conversations about the future of AI-native businesses.
