Build AI startups,
together.
North Star AI Labs connects founders, builders, students, investors, and partners around AI projects, education, community, and opportunities.
Built for the people turning AI ideas into real work.
An ecosystem where founders bring the vision, builders bring the skills, sponsors and investors bring the resources, expertise, and access to help them grow.
Founders
You have an AI idea or an early company and you're missing a piece — a technical co-founder, builders for a project, early users, mentors, or capital. This is where you find them.
AI builders
Engineers, designers, PMs, and researchers looking for real projects worth your time. Find work that builds your portfolio and founders who need exactly your skills.
Sponsors
Companies that want real presence in the Atlanta and Southeast AI scene — reaching founders and builders early and backing the next wave of AI companies.
Investors
Angels, VCs, and scouts who want early visibility into AI companies being built here — meeting teams while they're still shipping, not pitching.
