Opportunities like AI come once a generation.
AI offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity for company-building. Speed to market is vital. Founders who have access to expert help in customer discovery, problem-solution fit, prototyping, go-to-market and fundraising will have an unfair advantage.
​
Help is at hand.

​We are entrepreneurs, researchers, and investors with decades of experience in AI/ML and company building. We want to build a community that helps underrepresented founders outperform.
