What Sets Us Apart

Dedicated Funding

Dedicated Funding

Upon acceptance to the AI NexusLab program, your startup will be automatically added to our investor partner's portfolio. Your startup will also receive $100,000 in exchange for a fixed percentage of equity.

Customized Support

Customized Support

Unlike accelerators with rigid curricula and a quantity-over-quality approach, we won't force founders into an established, cookie-cutter program or strong-arm you into meeting with an endless array of uninvolved mentors. We tailor the program to the needs of each company in the cohort.

Curated Mentors

Curated Mentors

Our mentors are hand-picked for each program and sometimes each team. They stay involved over the course of the entire program and beyond, giving you a chance to build relationships and ensure funders are invested in your success. We believe your time is best spent building your business, and our long-term, relationship-based mentor model succeeds in moving you closer to your goals by avoiding irrelevant and unnecessary meetings and mentors.

Focused Attention

Focused Attention

By limiting our program to no more than 7 startups per class, we're able to provide a level of support not possible at larger accelerators. Each startup is unique; attempts to address your needs with a generic curriculum are ineffective and a waste of time.

Program Benefits

  • A Menu of Services

    More than $500,000 worth of services, such as intellectual property and legal advising by Orrick, support from our in-house designer, and credits from Amazon Web Services, IMB/SoftLayer, and more.

  • Silicon Valley Investors and Entrepreneurs

    We fly every cohort in the Bay area to meet with our network of Silicon Valley investors and founders.

  • Talent

    We connect companies that need interns with students from the NYU Tandon School of Engineering.
