Ventures

PopDot.AI

Founder & President

June 2025 to Present

Designed and built the first domain marketplace purpose-built for AI agents, where autonomous systems discover, rent, and deploy domains without human intervention. Created a dual-interface architecture where AI agents and humans operate through separate purpose-built surfaces optimized for their respective interaction patterns.
Developed a trust and identity verification framework for autonomous AI agents, establishing tiered certification for enterprise deployment. Pioneered a novel security approach that leverages model alignment properties as an infrastructure-level defense, an approach independently corroborated by red-team research (Agents of Chaos, Shapira et al. 2026).
Architected a proprietary analytics layer capturing agent behavior, intent, and deployment patterns across the platform. Designed the Agent Demand Index, a structured intelligence framework for tracking autonomous commerce activity and establishing PopDot as an authority on the emerging agentic web.
Built protocol-native agent discovery and autonomous payment integration, enabling AI agents to complete the full search-to-deployment lifecycle independently. First-mover in ephemeral domain-as-a-service for the autonomous agent economy.

Blue River Terps (Retail)

Co-Founder & Partner

August 2018 to 2026 (Acquired)

Built a premier solventless cannabis retail operation in collaboration with Blue River Terps, the world's leading solventless cannabis manufacturer. Spearheaded Economic Empowerment Priority Applicant designation and led the comprehensive licensing process in Massachusetts' emerging cannabis market.

About

Greetings, I'm Michael Latulippe. I started by building software engineering communities across Silicon Valley, New York, and Boston. In 2017, I told the Boston Globe 'I don't want to preclude the possibility that robots may be considered people in the future.' I then spent seven years building and scaling a solventless cannabis retail operation in Massachusetts before selling the business in 2026. Now based in Celebration, Florida, I'm building AI agent infrastructure at PopDot.ai, the same autonomous future I was advocating for nearly a decade ago.

Celebration, FL
