AiTeky Ignite
A start-up grant for AiTeky Pass holders. Write a one-page idea and a two-minute pitch video, get votes from other learners and scores from MentorMesh mentors, and the teams chosen get a grant to build it. No equity taken: your team keeps the idea and everything you build.
How it works
1. Write your idea
Six short sections and a two-minute video, alone or with a team of other Pass holders.
2. Votes and scores
Pass holders vote for the ideas they like best, and MentorMesh mentors score each one.
3. The teams are chosen
Our team recommends the strongest ideas, and a second senior person gives the final approval.
4. Build and launch
Chosen teams get the grant in parts as they reach their milestones, with mentor help, then show their work at Demo Day and meet incubators.
The terms
- AiTeky Ignite is a grant, not an investment: AiTeky takes no shares or equity in your idea or company.
- Your team keeps all rights to the idea, the code and anything you build.
- The grant is paid in parts as you reach your milestones, and is spent on building the idea.
- Your idea is shown to other AiTeky Pass holders for voting and to MentorMesh mentors for scoring. Leave out anything confidential.
- AiTeky may name the selected teams and their ideas in public.
