Alchem Accelerator
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.
