Velocity by Village Global

Description

Velocity is a bespoke pre-seed program run by Village Global, a network-based early-stage venture firm backed by luminary founders and investors. Velocity supports founders with capital, community, and AI-friendly resources to help startups go from concept to execution and beyond. Participants receive up to $1 million in investment, access to Microsoft Azure, OpenAI, and Anthropic credits, and curated peer groups, masterclasses, and events that connect them with talent, customers, and investors — all delivered in a fully remote, global format. The program emphasizes support through peer masterminds, network introductions, and ongoing mentorship rather than a rigid curriculum.

Eligibility

Velocity is best suited for founders who: - Are building pre-seed startups and want support to reach core product, growth, or funding milestones. - Are committed to building and learning alongside a peer cohort of early founders. - Can benefit from remote participation — founders can join from anywhere in the world. - Want access to capital, AI compute support, and network connectivity (e.g., credits from Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic). - Are early in their journey — from idea through early traction — and ready to engage with a broader startup network and investor ecosystem. There are no strict industry limits; Velocity is open to founders globally, with special perks for AI-related startups through its ecosystem partnerships.
