The founder qualities we look for

We look for builders and practitioners, not spectators: people who ship, use AI tools in real workflows, and show up online and at events.

  • Builder or practitioner, not a spectator
  • AI or tech founder, infrastructure operator, or AI tool master
  • Scalable model or real workflows where AI saves time
  • Ships between gatherings and shows up online
  • Coachable and honest about gaps
