Pre-seed capital for applied AI founders

We write direct checks into applied AI companies built around real customer pain, technical depth, and durable execution. Some are companies we help incubate. Others are founders who already have momentum and just need capital, not incubation. We invest in both Seattle and non-Seattle startups.

Check sizes

We typically invest between $100,000 — $1 million

Direct investments also get access to the AI House community, including our founder network, events, Resident Experts, and relevant introductions. Incubation services are separate and reserved for companies in the AI House Incubator.

When there is a fit, we move quickly: clear conversations, fast decisions, simple paperwork, and capital wired without a long process.

Founder network

Access our startup founder network to share learnings and mistakes throughout your startup journey.

AI House events

Attend, listen, and debate with the Seattle AI startup community with high quality founder-centered events.

Introductions

We connect you to essential people that are the right fit for your company and industry.

Ready For Pre-Seed Funding?

We don't have an application form for AI House Capital. We invest through relationships, so the best way to get in touch with us is through direct connections or warm intros to our managing directors.
