We back founders building Data & AI products.

Bring the idea and the willingness to build it. We supply the infrastructure, the people who have done it before, and the capital to reach your first users.

What you get

Infrastructure

Cloud, data platform, CI and the engineering scaffolding you would otherwise spend months assembling.

Mentorship

Working sessions with people who have shipped and operated production systems, not a monthly check-in.

Capital

Enough runway to get the first version in front of real users.

Who we back

College students

Build while you learn.

PhD researchers

Turn research into products.

Corporate engineers

Spin out your side project.

First-time founders

We'll guide you through.
