Freshly funded, building with AI

Edition 01 is for the AI Lab. If you tick every box, we'd love to hear from you.

  1. 01AI is the core of your product, not a feature on top.
  2. 02You've closed an angel or pre-seed round, you're in (or graduated in the last 12 months from) an accelerator programme, or you've bootstrapped to €50k MRR.
  3. 03You haven't closed a seed round or later.
  4. 04You're a team of two to six, based in Berlin or ready to be from January.
  5. 05You do not have a current lease for an office with The Delta.

What the jury looks for

Five things, weighted equally: your team; the strength of your AI; traction since you raised or joined your programme; the market; and how much a quarter on campus would move you forward.

Tell us what you're building

Applications close Sunday 22 November at 23:59. We read every one.

How are you eligible?

Good questions

No. Applying and pitching are free, and The Delta takes no equity.

Not sure your programme counts? Apply anyway and tell us about it in the form.

Nothing you have to do. If you'd like to stay, we'll talk to you about a membership.

Yes. At least one founder needs to be in the Atrium on 3 December.

Only our selection team and the jury see applications. The pitch itself is public, so leave out anything secret.
