AI House (source: Official website · verified August 10, 2026)

Problem solved

Product capabilities

Incubation and company-building support from day one; pre-seed funding for applied AI founders; events and community programming; expert network (resident experts); workspace access via partners. Applications are rolling — no batches or cohort dates; pre-company 'whiteboard idea' founders welcome. Founders do not need to relocate, but every incubated founder spends at least one month working from AI House in Seattle. Support includes customer discovery, technical/AI architecture reviews, pricing, go-to-market, hiring, immigration and visa help (more than a dozen founder green cards secured), customer and design-partner introductions, and seed-round preparation. Focus industries: enterprise, healthcare, biology, legal, logistics, aerospace, manufacturing, climate, energy, developer tools, infrastructure, and public-sector technology.

Target industry

Applied AI startups (Seattle-focused ecosystem) (source: Official website · verified August 10, 2026)

Differentiation

Positioned against “passive capital or a quick brand stamp”; emphasizes day-one company-building support, real-world applied AI focus, and a deeply engaged expert community in Seattle. (source: Official website · verified August 10, 2026)

Pricing model

Incubation: 7% common stock (the same share class held by founders — aligned with the founding team, building alongside, not above). Pre-seed investment: up to $600,000 on a SAFE at a $10 million cap. Early allocations typically start at $100,000 for a solo founder or $200,000 for a co-founding team, with the ability to increase up to $600,000 as the company hits early milestones; for teams at the right stage, the full amount can be deployed upfront.
