We want the world's top talent at the helm

We’re looking for the next cohort of exceptional founders.

Alongside this public call we’re launching a talent scouts program, offering a bounty for successful founder referrals, increasing our direct networking, and partnering with other teams to host events like pitch days and workshops. We expect many of our most promising leads will come from these sources, and encourage you to engage with them if you have the chance.

But we won’t meet every great founder through our outreach. If you or your team have a strong track record and want to build something important, help us find you by expressing your interest below.

Please note, this is our first call for founders, and we don’t know how much interest it will get. As a result, we do not expect to respond to every submission we receive.

Our policy is to automatically filter out submissions not directly related to catastrophic risks from AI, or that our systems indicate were generated by AI. It is also possible we will stop accepting new submissions if we receive a large volume, in order to continue moving quickly on the most promising submissions.

  • After expressing interest below, promising candidates will be invited to submit a proposal with their track record, relevant capabilities, and vision for the initiative. Especially strong candidates may be fast-tracked directly to the next step: a short pitch meeting with members of our team to discuss their plans and potential impact. We aim to make a rapid decision and disburse funds shortly after that conversation.
