Software ventures in applied AI, built like instruments.
Hippogriff is the venture house and holding company of Ruslan Momot and Oleh Stupak.
We build and back a small number of product ventures with the patience of owners and the precision of operators, pairing old-world craft with modern technical leverage.
The name is the spine of the identity: half bird, half horse, equal halves of one animal. Momot evokes the motmot; Stupak evokes the horse. The crest turns that private joke into an operating principle.
Use this section to tell investors what Hippogriff holds, how decisions are made, and why these three ventures belong under one roof.
Software ventures built on applied AI — each plate carries a product film, a one-line hook, and the stage of the work at a glance.
Build your own AI team on a canvas.
A local visual canvas for wiring custom AI agents into teams that tackle any multi-step task. Drop agents, give each a model and a job, connect them, and hit Run — they pass work down the line and loop until it's right. Describe the team in plain English and Forge builds the graph. Runs entirely on your machine, on your own keys.
Optimization out of the box for ad auctions.
A plug-in layer that lives inside production ad auctions and optimizes every request — which bidders to call, what floor to set, what margin to take — then proves the gain with built-in Bayesian A/B testing. Live on XeWorks with ten paying clients and a measured +48.7% profit uplift across 9.4 billion requests; Ferio Flow is integrating next, and IntentIQ is signing on a performance basis.
The laboratory of your season.
An agtech platform that turns crop, acreage, and region into a complete field plan — variety picks, input mixes, operation calendars, and procurement lists — with profitability calculated before the first seed is bought. Monte Carlo risk curves, Pareto frontier analysis, and NDVI satellite monitoring keep the plan honest as the season unfolds.
The name holds the operating joke in public: Momot as bird, Stupak as horse, one company built from two equal founders.
