Mission: AI isn't a feature request. It's a margin lever. We help PE firms and portfolio companies turn AI into measurable EBITDA improvement.

Hi, I'm Johnny Rodriguez — Founder of SkyRod Ventures

Most PE firms know AI matters. Few have a plan to capture the value.

I spent nearly three years at Goldman Sachs supporting a ~$20B credit facility and leading a $5M technology transformation across ~140 private equity funds. That experience taught me where institutions bleed time, where margins leak, and how technology actually gets adopted inside complex organizations.

SkyRod Ventures exists to close the gap between AI's potential and your portfolio's P&L. We start with the business outcome — stronger margins, faster execution, better decisions — then determine which lever creates the most value.

Sometimes AI is the answer. Sometimes it's a better process. We'll tell you which.

How We Work: The A.D.D. Value™ Framework

Assess → Design → Deliver — every engagement follows a structured path from diagnosis to measurable outcomes.

<aside>

<aside> 🔍

1 · Assess

Find where AI creates real leverage across the portfolio.

A 30-day operational audit. We map every workflow — where time burns, where margins leak, and where AI can move the needle. No 200-slide decks. Just a ranked list of opportunities with quantified ROI.

2 · Design

Turn findings into a sequenced value-creation roadmap.

We build the business case and implementation plan — tied to your investment thesis, prioritized by impact and effort, with a Week-6 decision gate before committing to full build.

3 · Deliver

Build the systems. Measure the outcomes. Transfer ownership.

We deploy working solutions alongside your teams — then train them to own everything we build. What works in one portco becomes the playbook for the next.

We don't sell AI. We sell measurable outcomes — faster processes, lower costs, better decisions — and AI happens to be the fastest lever. Business problem first. Technology second. Value creation always.
