Venture AI: AI-Powered Spiritual Formation for GenZ and Beyond

People are coming to faith online, but one-to-one discipleship isn’t possible.

Venture AI is trying to fill the gap in discipleship and mentorship. Making a powerful and scalable digital discipleship experience.

GenZ in a digital-first world

• Digital Natives
• Lonely
• “I’m unique” with the expectation of personalization
• Authenticity
• Peers > Experts
• Zealous (about whatever it is they’re excited about)

Two types of “new” Christians

1. BRAND new
2. RE-new (used to be Christians or in the church, but left for some reason - like deconstruction or church hurt)

Key Tech Shifts

• big data: can we understand people distinctly and uniquely
• LLMs: allows hyper-personalization to every user
• new GenAI app stack: enables custom, kingdom-minded, redemptive AI
• AI Agents: helps create “teams” for everyone

How does Venture AI serve GenZ well in a digital-first environment?

Venture AI is “Your coach for the Christian journey.”

• don’t automate or outsource, but support and guide
• the person drives their own journey with the support of the AI

micro-discipleship

• personalized (addresses uniqueness)
• bite-sized (meet them where they are and support each step)
• transformative (not just content consumption)
  • see the image of their transformation model

way of Jesus framework

• see image for the 5 components
• How is the new Christian progressing in each category?

Are we offering things and answering questions that people aren’t asking?

Venture AI is looking for:

• partners to pilot the tool
• talent (engineers, designers, developers, etc.)
• funding
