Why join

Benefits for founders

Joining GhostVector gives you access to people, capital, and infrastructure — the three pillars that turn prototypes into thriving companies.

People & network

Our founders and mentors are practicing data scientists, AI engineers, and operators. They open doors: to hiring talent, to industry pilots, and to investors who understand research-driven startups. This network translates into real opportunities — collaboration, referrals, and early customers.

Product support

From architecture reviews to customer discovery exercises, our mentors are hands-on. Teams receive structured office hours, workshops, and code reviews tailored to AI products — helping you move from research results to reliable, reproducible systems.

Operational & legal help

We provide access to founders’ counsel, template legal agreements suited for academic founders, and practical guidance for forming companies while respecting academic obligations.

Financial & compute resources

Benefit packages may include cash, cloud/compute credits, and credits for essential services (e.g., data labeling, model hosting). This helps teams iterate quickly while minimizing early financial strain.
