Someone already
bet on you.
Before an investor writes a cheque, a cloud program or a public grant has already validated the case. We secure that non-dilutive fuel — compute, tokens, and cash — on your behalf, deploy it into the build, and turn each approval into a signal investors trust.
Grants first. Runway second. Investors third.
Non-dilutive capital does two jobs: it funds the build, and it manufactures trust. By the time we introduce investors, the case has already passed someone else's diligence.
We secure the grants
Cloud credits, model tokens, and public innovation grants — applied for and administered by the studio, using the vertical thesis and your LOIs as the case.
→You build on the runway
Founders start on funded infrastructure. Compute and tokens cover the first months so you spend runway on customers, not cloud bills.
→We connect you to investors
Once you're live and the grants have de-risked the case, the studio's investor network takes the baton. Every approval is proof someone credible already believed.
GCP-aligned. Multi-cloud ready.
The substrate runs GCP-first, so Google for Startups is our fastest path. But we sign founders up wherever the vertical fits best — Azure, AWS, and the model-maker programs are all on the table.
Google for Startups
Our substrate is built GCP-first — Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Run. Deepest integration, fastest approval path for our verticals.
Microsoft for Startups
Azure OpenAI access and enterprise co-sell. Strong fit for verticals selling into Microsoft-heavy enterprises.
AWS Activate
Broadest service catalog and Bedrock model access. Best when the vertical needs a specific AWS-native service.
Additional programs
Model-maker token grants and GPU programs layered on top of the cloud credits — routed to whichever fits the vertical.
Public money, privately managed.
Grants are slow, bureaucratic, and high-signal. We run the applications, reporting, and compliance so founders never touch a submission portal — and every approval becomes a trust marker.
Every grant is a reference check you didn't have to ask for.
When Google, the EIC, or a federal program has already backed the case, the investor conversation starts from belief, not skepticism.
Grant approved
A public body or cloud program ran diligence and said yes.
Runway deployed
Non-dilutive capital funds the build — no equity spent on infrastructure.
Live revenue
First paying customers on funded infrastructure. The thesis is proven.
Investor intro
We introduce warm. The grant stack is the reference check, already done.
Bring the wedge. We'll fund the runway.
You never touch a grant portal. We secure the non-dilutive fuel, deploy it into your build, and turn every approval into investor trust.
