Build with customers, capital, and a team from day one.

What

Founded by the leadership team at Manos Software Group, the Manos AI Fellowship was created to accelerate the next generation of AI-native founders inside real markets.

Build in one of Montreal’s leading ecosystems for applied AI.

Who we are looking for

Who we are looking for

We care about one thing above all:
you ship.
  • Technical founders: Built before. Maybe failed once. Ready for round two.
  • AI engineers: You want to ship products customers pay for, not internal dashboards.
  • Product operators: Tired of planning. Ready to own outcomes.
  • AI-native builders: You already use AI tools to create, automate, and experiment.
