AI Startup Program for Impact

The program consists of an 8 weeks AI Innovation Challenge, during which you get a team of 50 AI Engineers to build an Innovative AI Solution for you (more than 5000h of AI Development). The AI Innovation Challenge is followed up by a 2 weeks Knowledge Transfer support to make sure that you are up to speed with all the work the team did. Moreover, for 6 months from the end of the project, you can request 2 Office Hours for Growth Mentoring and Support for Talent Acquisition.

The AI development process includes data collection (if needed), data processing, AI modeling, and deployment (if applicable). Each single startup case is different, that’s why as the first step of the application process we will need to discuss the technical challenges of building your AI Solution and define together the project scope. Please submit your application with this link and we will discuss your AI Project in a call.

The project team consists of one Omdena Project Lead and 50 AI Engineers who will work on your project.

Yes, you can hire vetted engineers from Omdena’s Top Talent Pool (top 2% talent of more than 20k applications) or choose flexible hiring options such as top talent teams or escrow model.

The program is suitable for Startups from Pre-Seed up to Series A stage. Boost the development of your product and get quickly investor ready for your next round (see here many Success Stories of our Alumni)

Joining Omdena’s Impact Network provides access to a diverse community of technologists, organizations, and impact investors who are interested in supporting innovations that create positive social impact. This network offers opportunities for collaboration and exposure to potential funders who may be interested in supporting your work. Additionally, being recognized as an Emerging Impact Changemaker through Omdena can help raise your profile and increase visibility among potential funders.

Omdena AI Program will enable you to bridge the gap between getting funding and building an investor-ready AI Solution. You can save tens of thousands of USD in development costs and build your AI Solution in a much shorter timeframe.

Program fee: Only $15k USD

For Pre-Seed Startups we give the opportunity to defer partially the payment, so you can pay part of the fee only after you get funding.

You own the full IP of the final solution(s).

No, you can keep all your valuable shares.

Our program requires a commitment of about 5 to 8 hours per week from somebody on your team. You are going to play the role of the “Domain Expert” and you don’t need to worry about project management, because you will have a dedicated PO and we will take full ownership of the product development. It is a great return on investment considering that you get back more than 5000h of AI Development during the program

If building your AI Solution requires a small team of Engineers you can apply with this link for Omdena Top Talent Teams Program. The program structure is very similar but instead of 50 AI Engineers, you get a Team of 2-5 Engineers to build your Product + One Omdena AI Product Owner. Omdena’s Top Talent Teams program is more suitable for Software Engineering type of projects (Also backend and frontend). If there is no need to “re-invented the wheel” in terms of AI and the complexity of building the solution is more of the software engineering side then we would recommend joining the Top Talent Teams Program instead. Before joining the program we evaluate every single startup, define the project scope, and assess if they are a good fit for an AI Innovation Challenge or a Top Talent Project or a combination of the two.
