Who We Are:

AI is the new electricity: Just as electricity transformed numerous industries starting 100 years ago, AI is now poised to do the same. AI Fund is a venture studio founded by Dr. Andrew Ng in 2017. Our portfolio companies utilize AI technology and applications to improve processes and efficiency in various industries for the betterment of humankind. The AI Fund team combines their experiences as AI pioneers, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, investors, and operators. We are backed by a $390 million-dollar fund from top-tier VC firms.

Together, let’s build great companies that will move humanity forward.

Why Partner With AI Fund:

We’ve been there. We’ve founded and scaled successful companies ourselves, and we know that creating meaningful startups is really hard. Many entrepreneurs toil with ideas for years. Many spend time building something without the foresight of limiting factors that could have been easily dismissed upfront. Accomplished execs often teeter between a desire to start a company and creating something great versus taking a job that is less fulfilling. If only someone could help with taking the risk out of turning an idea into reality and accelerate the company building process, more people would be inspired to start a company. Coming up with great ideas, sussing them out, assembling great teams, and helping raise capital is what we do. We shorten a process that can take years down to months. We make sure you are going after the right market, are fully validated, and are surrounded by great teammates. Lastly, we make sure you see the world through the lens of a data scientist and machine learning expert, which is the perspective any meaningful company in the future must have. But we also know that the process is not about us. It’s about great Founders and empowering them to do great things.

What We Seek:

AI Fund is seeking a Founding CEO to take a concept from 0 → 1 and build it into a company. This is a ground-floor opportunity for a technical builder to shape, execute, and ultimately scale a new venture. We are looking for entrepreneurs who either have first-hand experience with a problem they want to solve or who may be a strong fit for concepts already in our pipeline. While not required, the ideal candidate has experience solving real business problems and anticipating risks. You might have been a product manager responsible for a product or product line, an engineer who influenced company direction from the ground level, a management consultant with deep vertical domain knowledge — or a founder who understands how razor-thin the margin is between success and failure and wants every strategic advantage. Most importantly, we are looking for leaders — people who can hire exceptional talent, inspire others around their vision, raise capital, and execute. If you’re a hands-on technical leader eager to co-found and build a GenAI venture from the ground up, we’d love to meet you.

About MedBuddy:

MedBuddy starts as a medication tracking and reminder app within LINE Messenger designed to help elderly users with chronic conditions understand their prescriptions and stay adherent to their medication routines. Our vision is to evolve MedBuddy into a personalized health management platform that connects seniors, their families, and doctors through an intuitive, voice-based interface. We have built and tested an early prototype with ~20 users in Taiwan, showing strong validation. Users consistently highlighted the reminder feature as highly valuable as it helped them take both medications and supplements on time every day. MedBuddy will also generate concise medication and vital-sign summaries to support better doctor–patient communication and clinical decision-making. With clear user pain points and an intuitive AI-driven experience, Taiwan will serve as our initial launch market to establish product–market fit and user adoption. Once we gain traction, we plan to expand into other rapidly aging markets: Japan, Korea, and eventually the U.S. and beyond.
