Contribute to our Brief for AI Leaders and Investors
From dozens of conversations on our Humans & AI Show with top AI founders, CEOs, and investors, one thing is becoming clear: the most valuable insights often come from those building on the frontlines. Emerging founders experimenting with new models, prompts, pushing out early products often spot signals before anyone else.
As CEOs and investors want to know what’s really happening in the trenches, we’re creating a private monthly Brief that delivers those signals directly to leading CEOs and investors.
Who This is For
We're inviting a select group of early-stage AI founders, including YC alumni, top accelerator grads, and post-traction builders who want to contribute short, sharp notes each month on:
- What's working now in building AI products
- Signals on tools, prompts, and adoption trends
- Go-to-market lessons and scaling strategies from the startup journey
Your contributions will be featured in front of elite AI founders, CEOs, and investors who are shaping the industry.
How It Works
Each month:
- Contribute to 2–5 short notes on what you're seeing or building.
- Each contribution is featured, subject to approval, with your profile on our Brief for AI leaders and investors.
- As a Bonus, you'll also receive a digest of perspectives from fellow emerging founders.
Eligibility Criteria
We're inviting emerging AI founders who meet at least one of the following:
- $100K+ ARR (annual recurring revenue) or comparable revenue traction
- $1M+ raised in pre-seed or seed funding
- Alumni of YC or other top accelerators (e.g. Techstars, Entrepreneur First, Alchemist)
- Notable pilots or enterprise contracts (signal of strong early demand)
- Rapid user adoption (e.g. 10K+ MAUs or significant growth rate)
- Published technical innovation (research, open-source projects, patents adopted by industry)
- Previous founder with meaningful exit (>$5M) moving into AI
