HOW WE HELP

With you every step of the way. From the first idea, to your Series A, and beyond

About Us

We cofound startups with entrepreneurs that use revolutionary AI models to create products that people love. Our process works for all entrepreneurs, but there is variance in how long it takes to build a healthy business, particularly in the earliest stages.

Below is a typical timeline, but please know that not every entrepreneur needs to go through every phase. Each founder’s journey with us is unique and can range from 4 to 18 months.

DAY 1 - DAY 90

Validation is about taking your idea and getting feedback from potential customers

Customers don’t buy your AI, they pay to have their problems solved. They don’t care if it’s a chatbot, voice assistant, or predictive analytics. They don’t care if a foundation models paper got an award at NAACL. If it gets them what they want, they’ll use it. And you test your assumptions by getting feedback from real potential customers. This process is then repeated until you have enough early confidence.

DAY 90 - DAY 270

Development is about taking the above feedback and turning it into a great product

Once you have confidence in what to build, now it’s time to get serious. It’s time to start putting in the long hours, to start making the tough decisions, and to start executing. This is where the real work begins and it is the longest and most intense phase in our process. It’s also the place where we pour the most resources—time, money, technical support, and more—into your company.
