For serious builders & founders who ship I 50 teams, rolling selection

The Entrepreneur in Residence program is our most prestigious program in the Venturethon. This time, we will have ten spots for EIR, instead of the usual two.
This is a three-month program, the selection for which is made after participation in the 10-day Venturethon sprint. You have to share with us your entrepreneurial idea, ideally focused on AI or Web3 and submit the MVP at the end of the 10-day Venturethon/sprint. Existing early-stage startups are also welcome to join. You will have to develop an additional feature during this period, so we can clearly differentiate between what you built before and what you’ve developed during the venturethon.
Each EIR needs to be a team of two individuals. Once you sign up for the venturethon, we can help you match with a co-founder, if you don’t already have one.
After you sign an agreement with soonami and join the cohort, each EIR team gets 100k Foundance credits.
If you are a Rank 5+ founder, you will be eligible for 18,000 Foundance credits + 12,000 Token staked. For detailed information on EIR and the rank system head here.
In our next cohort starting February 23, 2026, we’ll bring together developers, founders, creators, to explore, ideate, and create cutting-edge projects. Post hackathon, projects get the opportunity to grow with soonami and get $125k in funding from us.
The areas we focus on: AI and Web3.
Here is a list of topics to chose from, but not limited to:
