Billfolda AI Accelerator Stream

Our Commitment to AI Founders

Billfolda is launching a dedicated AI Accelerator Stream designed to supercharge
commercialisable AI startups. Sitting on top of an established, high‑performance
accelerator program, this stream adds up to $200k in matched or generous co‑funding plus specialised AI support.

Why We’re Doing This

AI is entering a phase of rapid commercialisation. Early‑stage founders need capital, deep technical guidance, access to compute, and real-world enterprise pathways. Billfolda is investing aggressively in the next generation of applied AI companies solving tangible, high‑value problems.

Who We’re Looking For

We want ambitious, product-driven founders building AI solutions that create unfair
advantages through model design, data ownership, differentiated pipelines, or new
interaction paradigms.
