Questions

Anything else? Write to startups@opceanai.com.

Nothing. There are no fees and no equity. We cover the infrastructure we provision and our engineers' time on your project.

Public credit, monthly updates about your progress, and feedback about the program. Open-source projects keep their license untouched.

No. Open-source maintainers, student teams, research groups, and pre-seed startups all apply through the same form.

That is a valid request. Tell us in the form and we will provision exactly what you need, without pushing extra resources.

It helps us understand the project quickly. Two minutes are enough, a screen recording is fine, and showing your face is optional.

We review submissions weekly and reply by email. If we need more information, we will ask before making a decision.
