AI Startup Incubator (AISI) is a part of Look AI Ventures (LAIV), the first investment fund in the Czech Republic focusing exclusively on early-stage AI startups. Our mission is to empower ambitious teams to realize their business goals and utilize the power of AI. At AISI, we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we tailor cooperation to the needs of every startup and offer our portfolio companies both business and technical/AI expertise in addition to the investment.

Based in Prague, the Czech Republic, and operating since 2017, AISI has now integrated its diverse portfolio, network, AI expertise, resources, and proven unique data-driven methodology into the LAIV structure, leading operational processes from within the fund. We invest in pre-seed and seed startups addressing major markets with AI-driven solutions at their core. 

Our extensive community of international AI & ML experts offers time and resource-efficient solutions to drive the success of our portfolio companies. AI will soon permeate every aspect of our lives across various industries, and AISI aims not only to drive innovation but also to focus on responsible AI.
