Webinar
Trends in Consumer AI
Join Charlotte Jenkins and Bozhena Kulchyckyj, Senior Associates at Alumni Ventures, for a fast-moving look at the four AI consumer trends reshaping daily life — agentic commerce, ambient home AI, hyper-personalized health, and AI-powered learning — and the markets each one is set to define by 2030.
In this session, Charlotte Jenkins and Bozhena Kulchyckyj, both Senior Associates at Alumni Ventures, will walk through the four AI trends most actively rewriting how consumers shop, live, get well, and learn — and why each one represents a distinct, investable venture thesis. The conversation centers on the structural shift happening as AI moves from a tool you open to an infrastructure layer running quietly underneath everyday life — collapsing the path from intent to action across commerce, the home, health, and education.
Charlotte and Bozhena will cover what’s actually driving each trend. Agentic commerce, where AI agents are beginning to shop, subscribe, and transact on behalf of consumers — a category projected to influence $20.6B in U.S. retail spending and reach $3–5T globally by 2030 as humans move out of the purchase loop. Ambient home AI, where intelligence woven into the physical environment is on track to a $127B market. Hyper-personalized longevity and health, where AI applied to biometric data is set to reach ~$150B. And AI as tutor and co-creator, projected at ~$110B as learning and creative tools become genuinely personalized. The team will share how Alumni Ventures is already investing across this consumer landscape — from social and connection, to wellness, consumer goods, digital economy, and modern mobility — and where they’re sharpening conviction next.
Whether you’re an existing syndicate member sharpening your view of consumer AI, or an accredited investor exploring AV’s syndicates for the first time, this session will give you a current, investor-focused look at the trends most likely to define the next decade of consumer venture returns.

About your presenters
Charlotte brings a founder-aligned, execution-first mindset to venture investing. At Alumni Ventures, she leverages her background as an operator to back early-stage teams building the next wave of intelligent software. She thrives in the earliest stages—where velocity matters, ambiguity is high, and momentum is earned through tight feedback loops and rapid learning.
Before joining AV, Charlotte helped build and scale startups across AI and consumer sectors. At a pre-seed AI-native company, she helped shape core strategy and operations from the ground up. At a food-tech venture, she led market expansion and launched a new business line during a high-stakes COVID pivot. These experiences shaped her belief in the power of clarity, grit, and structured iteration—the traits she now looks for and supports in founders.
Charlotte is particularly drawn to technologies that simplify complexity and empower users to act with greater intention. She seeks out products that are both behaviorally resonant and operationally sharp—and partners best with founders who value speed, depth, and grounded insight.

Investment Areas of Focus:
Charlotte focuses on Intent-to-Action Infrastructure—software that bridges the gap between user intent and real-world execution. Her thesis centers on Agentic AI: systems that plan, coordinate, and act on behalf of users across fragmented tools, routines, and workflows. She believes this will be the next major layer of the AI stack, transforming both enterprise operations and everyday consumer behavior.
She is particularly drawn to categories with high friction, frequent use, and low-stakes decision-making—contexts where agentic systems can build trust, drive adoption, and generate durable behavioral moats. Her work spans business software, commerce, and life infrastructure, with an eye toward AI-native platforms that prioritize outcomes over interfaces.
Bozhena Kulchyckyj is a Senior Associate at Alumni Ventures on the Seed Investment team, where she supports venture investments across all sectors, with a focus on consumer, e-commerce, and emerging infrastructure themes.

She previously co-chaired and served as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Boston College’s Shea Center for Entrepreneurship, where she ran the university’s entrepreneurial ecosystem — managing the venture competition and student investment program, leading accelerator and founder programming, and bringing in operators and investors across the broader venture network.
In addition to venture and ecosystem building, Bozhena has led design, operations, and growth initiatives at several early-stage startups. She also spent a year working in Western Ukraine and Eastern Poland, supporting humanitarian aid deployment and philanthropic fundraising efforts.
