AIR is a NYC-based startup accelerator investing $500,000 in teams building beautifully-designed consumer AI products. Submit by May 26, 2025.
We’re looking for early teams with taste: founders designing for emotion, intuition, and cultural impact, not just infrastructure or optimization. Products that make people feel something. Concepts that couldn’t exist five years ago. Builders who know that good design is distribution.
If that sounds like you (or someone you know), apply for our Summer cohort by May 26, 2025. Here’s what we ask on the application:
Tell us your origin story. Why this? Why now?
Product links, pitch decks, design mocks, metrics.
Include LinkedIn profiles or relevant links.
Agentic assistant? Social experience? Hardware? Mobile?
Could be users, revenue, retention, or anything else that signals momentum.
You’ll prioritize the program, prepare for sessions, and incorporate as a C-Corp by the start date.
If you’re a finalist, we’ll ask for a few references.
Name, email, phone, company.
That’s it.
Tell your friends. Tell your frenemies. Tell the weird builder in your group chat.
We’re ready if you are. Apply here.
