A 42angelitos initiative
Great AI companies can start in any of the world’s oceans.
42oceans is an open pre-incubator and community for AI founders worldwide. A place to test ideas, find people to build with and learn fast – before you ever need a pitch deck.

Principles
What we stand for
No limits
Good ideas come from everywhere. No matter where you live, what you studied or how old you are.
Ethics built in
We back AI that respects people. Responsibility is part of the idea from day one, not an afterthought.
Positive by default
We look at what AI can do for people and build from there – with curiosity, not fear.
