Hiroki Sawai · Founder, Agentic & ROOT TEAM

I built and exited a business in Vietnam, then grew a SaaS business in Japan. Now I’m building my next chapter in the U.S.: a business where AI swarms help create and operate digital products.

The journey

From learning to build.
To building companies.

After graduating from Rikkyo University, I taught myself engineering and joined an IT company. That led to entrepreneurship in Vietnam, followed by ROOT TEAM in Japan.

  1. My first business, beyond Japan.

    I founded an offshore development company in Vietnam and later exited the business.

  2. Building ROOT TEAM.

    I established ROOT TEAM in Japan and went on to build OneStream, our video SaaS business.

  3. A wider perspective.

    Through JETRO’s J-StarX program and 500 Global, I engaged with international startups and investors. I became convinced that AI would become a foundation for the next generation of businesses.

  4. A new chapter in the U.S.

    I’m bringing my SaaS experience to Agentic: building with AI swarms and helping founders put AI agents to work in their go-to-market workflows.

What I bring

A founder’s perspective.
An implementer’s approach.

I work across business strategy, product development and implementation. For founders, that means turning an idea for AI into a workflow your team can use.

01 / GTM

Find the right prospects.

Define the ideal customer profile, research target companies and identify signals of potential need. Bring that context into your sales process.

02 / SYSTEMS

Make the workflow work.

Connect AI agents with HubSpot, Salesforce or your existing CRM. Build research, enrichment and handoff workflows around your team.

03 / AI SWARMS

Build the next business.

Explore how teams of AI agents can create and operate digital products. Agentic’s current portfolio and dated performance evidence are available to review.

Why Agentic

More capacity.
More possibility.

My ambition is to build businesses where AI agents carry more of the operational work, giving people more room to create, decide and grow.

For founders, I’m a hands-on partner for AI-agent GTM and CRM workflows. For investors, Agentic is my next venture: an opportunity to explore what a digital workforce can build.
