AiSprouts VC launches exclusive Founder Bootcamp for early-stage AI founders, requiring referrals and focusing on practical mentorship over funding.

AiSprouts VC has launched the Founder Bootcamp, a selective, referral-only program for early-stage AI founders focused on building capital-efficient startups. The initiative offers tailored mentorship, closed-door sessions, and access to a network of investors and operators, helping founders tackle challenges in AI development, compliance, and go-to-market strategy. Unlike traditional accelerators, it avoids cohort structures and demo days, emphasizing practical guidance over funding. Backed by Fund II, the program builds on the firm’s track record of investing in over 30 AI startups across mobility, robotics, and enterprise software, many of which have attracted top-tier follow-on funding. Founders must secure a referral to apply.
