SCALE CIRCLE
Real-world challenges, unreal solutions
Applied AI is Tech Nation’s first growth programme for Artificial Intelligence to help the UK’s most promising founders who are applying AI in practical areas and to create real-world impact. The programme is based on peer-to-peer support and the shared experience of later-stage founders, all curated under the values of honesty, intimacy and trust.
We know that scaling an AI company comes with its own set of unique challenges. This is a network that will unpack the AI-specific scaling journey, led by those who have done it and with the support of like-minded peers.
Our six-month programme focuses on providing founders and leaders of the sector with invaluable skills, a powerful network – including peers, investors and potential clients – and the ability to implement changes that will help their companies grow.
It’s free to join, and we don’t take an equity stake in your business. To determine who gets a place on the cohort, we’ve put together a panel of expert judges.
How does the programme work?
To be eligible, your company could focus on anything from mobility to manufacturing, from e-commerce to healthcare, but your product must solve an identified, real problem. Our programme callout is closed for this time, but you can pre-register your interest in the programme.
The eligibility criteria:
- Have headquarters in the UK
- Have Artificial Intelligence at the core of your value proposition and your key product, not an excess feature
- Seed to Series A* (or no more than £1.5m annual recurring revenue)
- Take into account ethical considerations
