Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence

Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence is a Seattle-based nonprofit AI research institute founded in 2014 that is relevant to founders building research-heavy AI and machine-learning companies. In addition to foundational AI work across language, multimodal, robotics, science, and environmental applications, it has incubated companies and participated in seed financings in the United States. It is a better fit for startups seeking deep technical ecosystem support and selective early capital than for teams looking for a conventional broad-market venture fund.
