We fund frontier projects where coding agents break down
We back engineers working on problems too complex for AI to solve.
More practically, if when you code with an agent, it hallucinates a lot or if you need 12 iterations before having something correct, you are in our scope.
If that's your frontier, we want to fund you. It's not for beginners, but you could surprise yourself, don't hesitate to try.
Some random PRs to illustrate that we are talking about coding
(if it wasn't clear enough)

How It Works?
Initial Meeting
- Assess motivation, project potential (6+ months), and time commitment (10–15 h/week).
- Review contract terms and confirm understanding.
- If suitable, schedule the technical interview.
Before the Technical Interview
- Candidate must have already started coding (about 10–15 hours).
- Submit a short project description, roadmap, and key technical challenges 24 hours before.
- Share GitHub access and follow coding rules (clear PRs, tests, no AI use).
Technical Interview
- Evaluate project complexity, technical potential, and code quality.
- Reviewers provide written feedback and a recommendation within 24 hours.
Administrative Validation
- Accepted candidates receive a confirmation email and contract to sign.
- Reminder of the one-month review and €7,500 payment conditions.
One-Month Review
- The committee reviews progress and code quality.
- Decision based on delivery quality, effort, and compliance with rules.
Payment and Legal Setup
- Upon approval, the finance team processes the €7,500 payment.
- Candidates may need to create a micro-enterprise for legal compliance.
- Legal terms (IP rights, licensing, non-compete) can be reviewed with counsel.
💰 Where is the money coming from?
Foundations that want to advance tech and top AI labs.
The first one is pretty straightforward; They have money to allocate to great projects.
Top AI labs fund your project because we help them to create insanely difficult benchmarks using your codebase. They understand why their coding agents are not working, you get a grant to allow us to create really hard coding challenges with your work.
Win/win? We think so.
