Inception Program Officially Launched, Led by OpenAI and Microsoft M12 for Global AI Incubation

On December 26, 2024, in San Francisco — The Inception Program (IPC), jointly initiated by OpenAI Inc, M12 Microsoft’s Venture Fund Inc, and Inception Program Inc, officially announced its launch today. This project aims to build a global AI incubation ecosystem by providing advanced technology and hardware resources, connecting global capital, and establishing Web3 communities to accelerate the application and expansion of artificial intelligence across various industries.

Focusing on AI Empowerment, Creating a Global Incubation Ecosystem.

According to reports, the Inception Program primarily focuses on AI startups, offering comprehensive support from technology development to market promotion. IPC will collaborate closely with leading technology providers and cloud computing service companies (including NVIDIA) to provide key resources such as GPU servers, high-performance computing capabilities, and cloud development environments for startup projects. Additionally, specialized technical consulting services will be offered to help startups implement technological innovations more swiftly.

Diverse Capital Connections to Accelerate Startup Growth

In terms of investment and capital, IPC plans to create a bridge connecting global investors and startups. The robust capital network and investment experience provided by M12 will offer resident companies global financing opportunities. The organization has revealed that IPC will regularly host investment matchmaking events and roadshows, creating “zero-distance” opportunities for startups to connect with venture capitalists, angel investors, and other financial institutions.

Deep Collaboration with OpenAI for Cutting-Edge AI Technology Implementation.

As one of the initiators, OpenAI will assist IPC in providing cutting-edge AI research results, model training, and technical guidance for startups. According to publicly available information, OpenAI will grant selected startups access to technology and expert resources to help them rapidly incubate and validate AI solutions to tackle complex challenges in industries such as healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and retail.

Embracing Web3 and Blockchain, Establishing the Angel User Network.

IPC also announced the establishment of the “Web3 Angel User Network,” leveraging the power of decentralized communities to obtain genuine user feedback for early products and explore more business models and collaboration scenarios within a blockchain environment. IPC plans to hold training sessions, forums, and workshops focused on Web3 technology, providing startups with support in blockchain technology and smart contract applications.

Global Strategy and Future Development

“We aim to make IPC not just an incubator but a multi-stakeholder ecosystem,” said an Inception Program representative at the press conference. “With the combined efforts of OpenAI, M12, and the Inception Program, we’re creating an end-to-end support system for AI startups, covering funding, technology, and market access, enabling innovative teams to achieve truly global growth opportunities.”

IPC is set to announce its first cohort of participating startups soon and plans to host a series of events across major tech hubs in North America, Europe, and Asia, offering entrepreneurs and developers face-to-face networking opportunities.Industry experts note that as artificial intelligence continues to penetrate sectors such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and retail, the technological and capital advantages unleashed by IPC on a global scale are expected to further drive AI innovation and collaboration.
