[ AI Startech ]
You bring the vision.
We bring it to the world.
AI Startech is the program through which Nomisma originates every company in its portfolio. If you have conviction in an AI company that should exist, and you need the engineering, infrastructure, compliance, and capital strategy to build it production-grade from day one, apply to build it inside the studio.
→ A US-incubated program
→ Limited slots per quarter
→ No pitch deck required
[ The Program ]
A US-based incubation program
for the next generation of AI founders.
Nomisma is incorporated in the United States, with a distributed engineering and operations team across four countries. AI Startech is the studio's incubation program, built on US engineering standards, compliance frameworks, and investor relationships, and made available to founders building for global markets from anywhere in the world.
[ How We Build With You ]
What we promise
every founder in the program.
The five disciplines that define every Nomisma portfolio company are the same five we apply to your company from day one of the program. This is what they mean for you.
A Sharper Thesis
We sharpen your conviction against real buyers, real comparables, and real pricing, so what you build is defensible from day one.
An Architecture That Lasts
We design your system end-to-end before code begins, so you never have to rebuild what should have been right the first time.
A Compliant Foundation
We map your product to every regulation that touches it, so you launch into markets most AI startups can't legally enter.
A Security Posture Built In
We pre-write the threat model and the audit trail, so your first enterprise security review ends in a yes.
A Capital Plan That Works
We design your path to first revenue before the build begins, so you raise the next round on your own terms.
[ The Partnership ]
A real partnership.
Built on trust.

- The right to walk if the studio is not delivering for you
[ The Process ]
How we take you
from vision to launch.
- 01
The Conversation
You reach out. We sit down for a working session, not a sales pitch, not a screening. We listen to the vision, ask the questions, and start understanding the shape of what you want to build.
- 02
Due Diligence
If the conversation tells us we should go deeper, we move into due diligence, the work that tells both sides whether this is the right partnership. Market, architecture, capital, founder fit. Confidentiality protected throughout.
- 03
Terms
If due diligence confirms the fit, we move to terms quickly. Equity, scope, milestones, decision rights, all reviewed by your counsel, settled before work begins. We do not waste time at this stage.
- 04
Build
The Nomisma studio team begins on the architecture. You begin on the vision. The five disciplines run in parallel through the build.
- 05
Launch
The company goes live with production-grade infrastructure, regulatory posture, and a capital strategy in place. From here, we stay with you as a partner, not a vendor.
[ The Founders We Build With ]
For founders who want
experts beside them.
AI Startech is for founders who have the vision and the conviction, who know the smartest way to bring an idea into the world is with the right experts beside them. Operators who have lived inside a problem and want to solve it well. Domain experts whose insight cannot be replaced by a model, only amplified by one. Builders who believe in moving fast, without breaking the trust that makes a company last.
We are not the right partner for founders who want a contractor. We are the right partner for founders who want a studio in their corner, and an institutional standard applied to their company from the first day.
- You have conviction in an AI company that should exist.
- You want the right experts beside you while you build it.
- You want a partner who treats your company the way you would.
- You want to be ready for any investor, any market, any regulator, anywhere in the world.
[ Apply ]
Limited slots.
Each quarter.
No pitch deck required.
AI Startech accepts a small number of founders per quarter. We turn down more than we accept, because the studio's resources are real, and we owe every company we take on the depth they deserve. If you've read this far, the next step is a conversation.
