We’re looking for ambitious, impact-driven individuals who prioritize results and are ready to launch and scale evidence-backed interventions. Whatever you’re background - whether consulting, for-profit entrepreneurship, a recent graduate, or something else entirely - this program could be an excellent fit for you.

Our Top Charity Ideas:

• Cage-free campaigns in the Middle East

Many participants find their preferences evolve as they learn more, so don’t worry if you’re not fixed on one idea!

Why Apply to AIM Founding to Give?

For-profit entrepreneurship can drive high-impact change, especially for those with experience in tech, founding companies, or working in emerging markets. You’ll join a cohort of talented, value-aligned co-founders with a stipend for up to 4 months to help you focus on building your business.

Who Should Apply?

We’re seeking exceptional founders ready to build impactful, fast-scaling companies. Ideal candidates include those with:

• Technical backgrounds, especially in AI
• Interest or experience in emerging markets
• Previous experience in founding or fundraising

If you’re ready to aim big and create a company with a major impact, apply now!

How Does The Joint Application Work? 

• To express interest in multiple programs, you only need to submit one initial application form. We'll keep you updated as you progress through the application stages. Even if you don't receive an offer, we may still connect you with relevant opportunities in our network.
• We value your time and will only invite you to the next stage if you have a strong chance of success. While we can’t provide individual feedback for rejections, our test tasks are designed to be valuable for both you and our selection process.

Referrals

Many of our best candidates are those recommended to us by members of the EA community. The quality of our co-founding teams is likely one of the strongest determinants of our incubated organizations’ success. Taking a few minutes to think about anyone you know who could be an excellent candidate for our programs is hugely valuable to us at AIM. Recommending someone accepted into our programs could be one of the most impactful ways to spend a few minutes of your time.
