Job Description:

Are you passionate about AI and have an innovative business idea? Are you part of a startup seeking the necessary resources and support to turn your idea into a successful reality? Look no further! Ai Forge is here to help artificial intelligence startups thrive within just 12 weeks 🚀

 

Who We Are:

At Ai Forge, we are a startup incubator specifically focused on early-stage companies that revolve around products and services utilizing artificial intelligence. Through our 12-week in-person program, we directly invest £10,000 into the startups selected for the program. Additionally, we provide £10,000 worth of professional services and £155,000 in service credits (Google Cloud, AWS, Notion), all bundled together in a program valued at £100,000. This exchange is for a 9% equity stake in the startup.

Our program features workshops, capital introductions, mentorship, technical support from skilled engineers, and more. The climax of the 12 weeks is the investor week, where we assist startups in closing their pre-seed round through three investor dinners and a final showcase attended by over 300 investors. Throughout the program, we carefully match startups with investors for 1-2-1 conversations. Prior to investor week, business angel groups visit the Forge to interact with founders, providing invaluable traction and preparation ahead of week 12.

Even after the program concludes, we continue to support our alumni by assisting them in raising their seed round and organizing events to expand their network of investors, corporate partners, industry professionals, and potential hires.
