Entrepreneurship · Pillar 04
Get funded.
Most Physical AI companies are funded twice over — non-dilutive grants to de-risk the science, then investment to scale. We get founders ready for both.
What we do
Ready for the grant and the raise.
How this part of the ecosystem works for founders and the people who build with them.
Non-dilutive
Grants first
SBIR/STTR — America's Seed Fund — and dual-use defense programs that fund R&D without taking equity.
Dilutive
Investment to scale
Angel, pre-seed, and seed investors once the technology is de-risked.
Readiness
Proposals that win
Scope, write, and position competitive applications and pitches.
Introductions
The right rooms
Connections to the programs, partners, and investors that fit the company.
