Accelerator for founders building AI companies — built on the thesis that everyone is building AI wrong by bolting it onto existing products instead of rethinking from an AI-native foundation.

What it is

Alchem Accelerator is Josh Furstoss's accelerator for founders building AI companies. The 'everyone is building AI wrong' thesis: most founders are bolting AI onto existing products rather than rethinking from the AI-native foundation up.

Who it's for

Founders building AI-native companies who want an accelerator that understands the difference between AI-bolted-on and AI-at-the-core.

Why it's better

  • Built on the thesis that most AI startups are doing it wrong — and teaches founders how to do it right.
  • AI-native from the foundation beats AI-bolted-on every time — Alchem bets on founders who understand the difference.
  • Accelerator model tailored specifically for AI company founders, not generic startup advice.
  • Josh Furstoss's framework challenges founders to rethink their architecture before they scale the wrong approach.
  • Early-stage founders get the AI-native mindset before they build the product that fights it.
