Frequently Asked Questions
-
What do you mean by “stealth”?Anything from idea-on-a-napkin to quietly building pre-launch.
-
Who is it for?Engineers, researchers, or repeat operators with a breakthrough AI insight who need time and cover to validate it. Many applicants come straight from top labs, tier-one universities, or leading accelerators, but your conviction and craft matter more than your résumé.
-
Do I need a fully formed product or company?No. You can apply pre-incorporation and pre-MVP. We’ll help you set up the entity, close the SAFE, and build a v0 that proves the thesis.
-
How does the application process work?Submit a short form and secure file deck. If there’s a fit, we'll schedule an intro call and make a decision—usually wrapped up in two weeks or less.
-
How big are the checks?Up to $500K SAFE; we can follow on later.
-
What deal terms should I expect?A simple SAFE with low-friction paperwork, founder-friendly pro-rata, and no board seat. We wire funds as soon as documents are signed so you can stay in builder mode.
-
How private is “stealth”?Very. All materials stay under NDA, and we never list your company publicly until you give the green light. If needed, we’ll structure the SAFE under a project code name.
-
What resources come with the capital?Cloud & GPU credits to train and deploy models An on-call bench of seasoned AI founders and domain experts A private, invite-only founder mastermind for peer feedback On-demand strategy sessions covering product, GTM, fundraising, and market validation
-
Is location a factor?No. We back founders worldwide. Most support is remote-first, with optional in-person pop-ups in NYC, SF, and other AI hubs.
-
Can solo founders apply?Absolutely. If you need complementary talent, we’ll tap our network to help you recruit co-founders or early engineers.
-
What happens after the two months?You graduate into our core portfolio, keep all community privileges for life, and—if you choose—tap our follow-on reserve for your seed round.
-
Do I need a deck?No. Not even a one-pager—just your background and what you’re exploring.
-
Is the program cohort-based?Rolling admissions—usually 2-4 founders per month as bandwidth allows.
