Greylock Edge is a 3-month company-building program from the venture firm Greylock, open to pre-idea, pre-seed and seed founders. Accepted founders get $500K+ in credits with AWS, Google, Microsoft and other partners, plus access to Greylock's recruiting team, AI researchers in residence and customer network. Greylock does not require an investment to join, and financing ranges from a priced seed round to an uncapped SAFE to no capital at all. Applications are rolling with no deadline, but Greylock states it works with only a very select handful of founders, so acceptance odds are low.
