What’s New
A NYC-based startup accelerator, investing $500,000 in teams that are building design-led consumer AI products.
The tech industry is at a pivotal inflection point. Just as mobile reshaped computing in the 2000s, AI is redrawing the creative canvas.
Right now, small teams are shaping what AI will mean for the next decade. At AIR, we are helping those founders lead the way.
The Future is Being Written Today
Backed by Collaborative Fund and in partnership with Fictive Kin, AIR is a 10-week program running June 23 to August 29, 2025 in New York City. We back design-led founders building consumer AI products that feel new, human, and deeply personal. More than capital, we offer a creative space where intent matters more than scale, and taste is a competitive edge. If that appeals to you, apply to join us.
