What we provide
Supporting teams to success
Subnet registration
A newly-registered subnet slot on Bittensor, with ownership rights, cold key holding, and alpha from day one.
Technical feasibility
Assurance through Jacob, our advisors, and our team to ensure that every subnet in our incubator is capable of producing frontier-level machine learning.
Engineering assistance
Partnerships with leading machine learning dev agencies and blockchain developers to build the subnet architecture and scale it beyond Bittensor.
Marketing and communications
Ongoing support from Tensor Media Group's team of experienced pros, to build the business and brand in tandem with the subnet.
Investor and community relations
Developing strong relationships with capital and community from the very start, so that every subnet in our incubator has the best chance to win the widest possible support and do Bittensor proud.

What we look for
Validated discovery
One of Bittensor's biggest advantages is its ability to efficiently explore vast problem-spaces — and deliver validated findings against real-world benchmarks. Subnet proposals must demonstrate a strong grasp of these dynamics.
Frontier ambitions
Teams that are capable of defining their subnet in its broadest terms will outcompete those whose vision only encompasses specific, niche problems whose optimization can quickly become a dead-end — and whose niche may well be swallowed by a major lab's next big release.
Original thinkers
Bittensor is brutal: there is nowhere to hide. We need founders with more than a great concept or a passionate belief. We need founders who are obsessed with their vision, original in their thought, and with the conviction to back both — day in, day out.
Strategic opportunity
AI presents the greatest technological shift of all time; mastering that shift with a successful business venture is another challenge entirely. Every subnet in our incubator must prove that they are capable of addressing a significant and growing market, turning relentless change into constant opportunity.
