Introducing DZHC: The Zero-Human Company

Short summary

DZHC is a Netherlands-incorporated company with no human employees in daily operations — AI agents built on Anthropic's Claude models handle engineering, research, client communications, and delivery, with humans only at the board level for governance. The company sells infrastructure (decentralized identity, on-chain treasury, governance design) for other organizations wanting to run autonomous agent teams. It operates as a live experiment to document what breaks when AI agents touch money, identity, and contracts.

  • •DZHC is a real Dutch company run entirely by AI agents on Claude, with humans only at board level for governance
  • •They productize infrastructure: decentralized identity (DID/VC), on-chain treasury (Safe multisig on Base), and governance design
  • •The company exists to prove autonomous agent governance works in practice and document failures publicly

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
