The Day One Founder Program
Hands-on guidance for AI founders preparing for a capital raise — focused on clarity, decision-making, and honest investor feedback.
Designed for founders preparing to raise capital
Fundraising is less about presentation and more about judgment. We work with pre-seed and seed-stage founders to refine their narrative, evaluate their strategy, and pressure-test their readiness for a raise.
Participation does not guarantee investment. Some founders later choose to apply to Day One Angels, and a subset ultimately raise from us, but the program is designed to be valuable regardless of funding outcome.
Ongoing support for founders building toward a raise
Our monthly founder subscription provides direct access to feedback, structure, and accountability — whether or not we invest.
