Description
Seldon Lab’s Batch 2 Request for Startups is funding and accelerating early-stage teams building critical infrastructure for AI safety and security, with a focus on technologies that ensure advanced AI is developed and deployed responsibly.
- Invests up to $500k per startup for 5–10 teams tackling challenges like formal verification, compute controls, interpretability, civilian infrastructure protection, supply chain oversight, AI insurance, and more.
- Three-month, in-person program in San Francisco with office space, weekly founder events, direct customer introductions, and access to a top-tier technical and investor network.
- Seeks highly technical founders (especially ex-OpenAI/Anthropic, or with deep expertise in AI, cryptography, hardware, or distributed systems); solo founders welcome but teams preferred.
- International founders are encouraged to apply; full-time presence in SF is required for the program, and some visa support may be available depending on circumstances.
