We were selected for the Global Founder Sprint by a16z speedrun. 4,500 builders from around the world applied, and fewer than 0.5% got in.
The sprint is a week in San Francisco for very early founders building for the US from day one. It runs 5 to 11 October, during Tech Week. It isn't an investment, and it's separate from the speedrun accelerator itself.
What the sprint includes
- People
- Dinners and 1:1s with the speedrun team, intros to the other sprint companies, and mentorship from people in sales and marketing.
- Go-to-market
- US go-to-market coaching, plus sessions on sales and on building a team in the US.
- Events
- VIP access to a16z events, and more than 500 Tech Week events across the city.
- AI Faire
- More than 300 US executives in one place, with speedrun batches presenting.
Why we're going
Our paying customers are in Europe so far. This week puts us in front of US teams whose agents run long, multi-step tasks, which is where token bills get big.
