VCs and Family Offices
Family offices and venture capital firms steward information that cannot be allowed to leak: generational wealth, asset locations, tax structures, unannounced pitch decks, cap tables and founder IP. They want the analytical leverage of modern AI across due diligence, portfolio monitoring and decades of private family history, but the cloud is barred because a single upload can breach an NDA or expose a structure that was never meant to leave the room. Mickai installs an air-gapped deployment on the customer's own hardware, under keys they hold, with local ingestion and retrieval over the deal pipeline on site. The data never leaves the building, no third party ever sees it, and the desk keeps both its discretion and its edge.
Family offices and venture capital firms that treat confidentiality as the core of their franchise.
Family offices fear exposing generational wealth, asset locations and tax structures, and VCs risk breaching NDAs on unannounced decks, cap tables and founder IP the moment anything touches a cloud AI.
An air-gapped Mickai deployment on the customer's own hardware, under their keys, with local ingestion and retrieval over the entire deal pipeline and no third-party access.
Strong discretion for the family and an uncompromised, protected deal edge for the VC, because the data stays inside the customer's own server room and never reaches a third-party cloud.
These architectural choices support control over the workflows in your deployment. Their benefits depend on configuration, integrations and operating practices. Review external connections, physical security, access and compliance responsibilities together.
Scope inference, extraction, retrieval and storage on infrastructure you control. Document and test any external connector, support channel or transfer before describing a workflow as zero-egress.
Workflows with local models, data and supporting services can continue offline. Live external email, calendars and other services need an approved connection or controlled import, with clear unavailable and pending states.
Map prompts, documents, indexes, logs and backups to their processing and storage locations. Local hosting supports control of location; access, retention and any transfers still need review.
Prepare and classify source records, preserve permissions and evaluate answers against the originals. Retrieval and model training are separate choices; agree data use and licences for each.
Compare hardware and licences alongside integration, power, administration, support, updates, evaluation and recovery. Measure cost at the required workload and quality before claiming savings.
Define who holds keys, who can administer the system and which actions need approval. Test denied requests, revoked access and audit records. Physical security, insider risk and incident response remain operational responsibilities.
Agree version selection, signed update procedures, rollback, data export and licence rights. Reassess requirements as software and obligations change; owning hardware does not remove maintenance or compliance work.
Review the requirements relevant to your organisation, jurisdiction and intended use with your responsible teams. Cloud services can be appropriate subject to applicable safeguards; on-premise deployment alone does not establish compliance or remove supplier responsibilities.
The kind of organisation this serves, named illustratively from public information to characterise the market. These are target profiles, not customers: Mickai has no relationship, engagement, trial, or endorsement with any of them.
The enterprise studios that lead in this sector, drawn from the eighteen that sit on the one sovereign substrate. Scope their local processing, operator-held keys and Open Audit Record coverage for the proposed deployment. Confirm availability and any external integrations before relying on a workflow.
Contract Review and Legal-Ops
Contract review and legal-ops over NDAs, side letters, SAFE and SAFT terms and shareholder agreements, with every confidential clause processed on site and no third-party exposure.
Executive BI
Executive BI over portfolio board decks and fund performance, so partners and principals get cross-portfolio insight without surrendering returns data to a cloud vendor.
Finance and Accounting
Finance and accounting over models, cap tables and valuations, running deep due diligence on unannounced decks where leakage would be a breach.
CRM
CRM over founders, LPs, co-investors and family relationships, keeping the relationship graph and deal-flow history private to the desk.
Compliance and Regulator Mode
Compliance and regulator mode to evidence confidentiality, MNPI handling and data-protection controls without sending sensitive records to a third party.
See all eighteen on the sovereign services catalogue.
The most secretive pools of capital have been the slowest to adopt cloud AI precisely because confidentiality is the product, leaving a sizeable cohort of family offices and venture firms underserved by tooling they cannot safely use. An on-premise, air-gapped capability opens that market by removing the cross-border-transfer and third-party-processing friction that has kept these desks on spreadsheets and email.
Measure value, cost and risk on hardware you control.
A protected deal edge: faster, deeper due diligence over unannounced decks and models, sharper portfolio monitoring across board decks, and instant retrieval over decades of private family history, all without a single confidential document leaving the building. It removes the third-party cloud-exposure vector that puts NDAs, MNPI and generational secrets at risk, while the customer keeps its own physical and insider controls and its own confidentiality obligations, and it displaces recurring cloud-AI subscription spend with infrastructure the customer owns.
