FAQ
Who should apply?
Engineer-founders of startups at the pre-incorporation or pre-seed stages (raised between 0-$1M) who are building AI-related B2B companies at the application or infrastructure layer.
What do I get?
You get a free ticket to the entire Data Council Conference (3 days), exposure on-stage at the event, and an audience of the best investors and founders in data to give you high-quality feedback. We're also working to secure cloud credits for selected companies.
How do presentations work?
You’ll have 10 mins to give a short intro to your startup and a demo of your product. Add a CTA if you like (i.e. you want beta users, are looking for design partners or seeking funding). Unlike other similar events, presentations aren’t judged and no one dies in the end (no Squid Game here).
What else should I know?
Put your best foot forward in your application, this is Data Council after all! Applications will be competitive and we’ll only be able to select 6 companies to participate. Think of this as your pre-YC application pitch practice (get your demo reps in now!)
