F/ai is unique in the accelerator landscape: it takes no equity, provides massive compute resources, and gives startups direct access to the engineering teams of the world's leading AI model providers.
The headline benefit is compute. Over $1M in credits from the six leading AI model providers means you can experiment, train, and scale without worrying about inference costs during the critical early stage. Beyond credits, you get direct access to partner engineering teams for technical support, mentorship from Sequoia and General Catalyst on go-to-market and fundraising, and a deal day connecting you with corporate buyers.
F/ai is invite-only. You cannot apply through an open process. Instead, partner firms (Sequoia, General Catalyst, and others) recommend companies from their networks. If you are backed by or in conversation with these firms, ask about F/ai nomination. The selection process evaluates technical depth, product vision, and the potential to build a significant AI-native company.
