About Inception Studio
Inception Studio is a non-profit accelerator built for the most experienced world-class entrepreneurs and builders at the earliest stages of starting their next AI company.
We organize exclusive 72-hour cohort retreats and other events to help our Inception Founder community find cofounders and launch their companies. Inception specializes in stages from "I just became fully committed to starting my next AI company" to "Our company is ready to raise a pre-seed round".
