50 AI startups growing together
Hey Indie Hacker community, today I'm excited to share about a new initiative called AI Launchpad targeting predominantly bootstrapped founders like you.
At Paddle, we're witnessing AI make waves within our 4000+ software customers .. many of whom are growing rapidly by leveraging Gen AI.
However, the market is only getting started. Bloomberg predicts that Generative AI could be as big as a $1.3Trillion market by 2032.
So we wanted to bring the brightest founders building in the AI space together and offer a world-class community along with actionable content to help accelerate their journey. That's how AI Launchpad was born.
We hosted our inaugural cohort in 2023 that had 59 founders from 21 countries building, launching and scaling their AI startup in the 6 week cohort and community.
Many of our 1st cohort startups turned out to be incredible success stories. Like Virtual Staging AI that went from $20k to $200k MRR, SiteGPT growing to $200k in revenue and so on. 🤯
And now, we're bringing it back again in 2024. The 2nd cohort applications are open as we speak and will close on April 14 with limited spots only. So please APPLY ASAP if you're interested. Link here: https://www.paddle.com/ai-launchpad
It's amazing to see so many AI startups growing and learning together! It's inspiring that there's such a supportive community for these startups to thrive and succeed. I believe these companies will make a big positive impact on the world!
WoW!
Great! Will the 2024 curriculum address any specific AI niches?
hey Prem, keeping it broad at the moment. We're seeing applications from AI apps within all kinds of industries (real estate, education, content creation etc)
Whoa, talk about riding the AI wave! 🌊 AI Launchpad sounds like the ultimate turbo boost for bootstrapped founders like us venturing into the AI realm. With AI set to be a trillion-dollar market, this could be our ticket to the big leagues! 💼 The success stories from the first cohort are jaw-dropping – from $20k to $200k MRR? That's some serious growth magic! 🚀 Count me in – just hit that apply button faster than you can say "future unicorn"! 🦄 #AILaunchpad #StartupMagic #AccelerateWithAI 🌟
