Who is AI Fund?

We are a team of AI pioneers, proven entrepreneurs, seasoned operators, and venture capitalists that collaborates with leading entrepreneurs to solve big challenges using artificial intelligence.

Founded in 2017 by Dr. Andrew Ng, AI Fund is backed with $176 million in capital by some of the leading VC firms and investors, including NEA, Sequoia, and Greylock.

How Are We Different?

We work with entrepreneurs during their startup’s most critical and risky phase, from 0 to 1. At the earliest stages, your company strategy is still being formed, and you’re still on the path to demonstrating your idea’s full potential – this is a reality we understand. This is the period when decisions on product strategy, market fit, and team are most critical, moving fast and fixing parts of your business when you have limited resources is a challenge.

We believe the best way to help entrepreneurs is by providing our time, expertise, and resources to help flesh out these key strategic decisions. Making the right decisions at the right time can often make the difference. We are here to improve these dynamics, at a time when the help matters the most.

Why Work With AI Fund?

Getting a startup from idea to Series A funding is not easy. We’ve been there and understand the challenges you must overcome. Whether you desire limited help and just want access to our unique ecosystems of AI experts and entrepreneurs or you would like our full support, we are interested in the opportunity to help in your success.

We are flexible in how we work with companies, but ultimately, we are here to maximize your chance of success and accelerate getting your company to market. We provide the capital, expertise, and resources to accelerate the work required to minimize risks in your startup, help you rise above the noise, and make your company more attractive to new investors.
