Our mission

Connecting AI talent with investors

​

We hire outstanding AI talent from academic and industry backgrounds, to create the next generation of AI products, and then incubate these startups, while carefully curating the founder teams.

​

Young talented AI resource are often key for creating ideas, but it is essential that experienced business people help them structure a business to sell these products in the real world.

Our approach

​Attract the best AI talent

  • Developers have 1 day a week to work on ideas

  • Increases to 2.5 days once the idea is approved 

  • Balance of time is spent on revenue-earning customer projects

 

Build prototype and raise SEIS/EIS investment

  • Developer receives 40% of the shareholding

  • Product is “spun out” into a separate company

  • NR gets 60% and multiple bets in the AI arms race

 

Neural River provides income-generating support

  • AI development resource

  • Support from central legal, finance, operations and management mentoring resources
