- free tier: 'Applicants to this cohort will be eligible to receive up to $500,000 USD in funding over three years - without giving up equity.' The base award, quoted: 'Selected projects will receive $300,000 USD and 12 months of intensive support beginning in April 2027', and the follow-on, quoted: 'Projects that demonstrate strong progress may be eligible for up to $200,000 USD in additional funding and two more years of bespoke support'. Deadline, quoted: 'The deadline to apply is Friday, November 20, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8)'. Selection, quoted: 'Applications are reviewed through a multi-stage process. The primary review occurs at the Initial Project Proposal stage, with only a small number of shortlisted applicants invited to submit a full application.' | unit: none | metered on: wall-clock | read on: 2026-10-22 | source: [1] | note: one-time-grant

  - write-gated (binding): a multi-stage competitive review with a small shortlist decides the money, and the payment is a 12 month runway rather than a compute balance, so the award buys capacity only after it is won. [1]
- limits note: a multi-stage competitive review with a small shortlist decides the money, and the payment is a 12 month runway rather than a compute balance, so the award buys capacity only after it is won.
- binding note: the same as limits note
- interface detail: inferred from the tooling the provider documents; not probed
- tooling: not stated
- reliability: no reliability event recorded
- notes: The strongest live find, and the one caveat is a real gap rather than a guess: no page read states whether an individual may apply, while all three anchor projects are organizations (Tiles Privacy Technologies, Family Intelligence Inc., the Distributed AI Research Institute). The technical premise of the cohort also matters for a user: it funds work that uses less compute, not work that needs more.
