<h3>Idea → Prompt → Demo → Application</h3>
<p><strong>TL;DR:</strong> Accelerator season is here and Breakpoint lands in London on 15 to 17 November. This grant gives UK founders $200 USDG to cover a month of the highest tier of AI coding tools, so you ship faster to get user feedback quicker in your journey to find PMF before applying for accelerators. Approved builders receive 50% upfront and 50% once the demo is live.</p>
<p><strong>Applications:</strong> Sep 14 - Nov 14.</p>
<h3>The Hypothesis</h3>
<p>The fastest route to funding for an early stage founder is still an accelerator. Y Combinator, a16z speedrun, Colosseum, Techstars, Alliance, Entrepreneur First, r3sidency and Construct all take applications in the same window, and Breakpoint sits at the end of it.</p>
<p>Most UK founders apply cold, alone and late. They write the application in a weekend without a working demo, without traction to point at, and without anyone who truly validated the problem. That used to be a skills problem. It is not any more. AI coding tools have compressed weeks of work into hours, and the founders who win this cycle are the ones with something they want to build, the agency to start, and a shipped product to show for it.</p>
<p>This grant is the first perk of Build for Breakpoint. $200 USDG for an AI coding Pro subscription, 50% upfront and 50% after you ship. The only requirement is that what you ship is a working product with Solana integration, live before Breakpoint.</p>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<ul>
<li>Apply with the same name/email that’s on your Build for Breakpoint Pass with a clear description of what you want to build, which accelerator you are aiming at, and how you will use AI tools to get there.</li>
<li>If approved, you receive 50% of the grant upfront (post KYC, completed on this page on Earn) in the following weekly payout cycle. Approved KYC and payments are sent for processing on Mondays and paid to you by Friday of the same week. From there, you build and ship.</li>
<li>Once your demo or MVP is live, share the product URL, GitHub repo and your coding subscription receipt(s) through the tranche application form on this listing. The totals shown in the receipt(s) should be $200. The form becomes visible after you receive your first tranche. On review and approval you receive the remaining 50%, and "Ship the demo" is marked as cleared on your Win Board.</li>
</ul>
<h3>What We're Looking For</h3>
<ol>
<li>A scope that is clear and practical (read: shippable before Breakpoint London). Tell us what the demo does, not what the company will be.</li>
<li>Your product should either include a working Solana integration or clearly explain how you plan to integrate in the future</li>
<li>A live, working demo or MVP at the time of your second tranche application, before Breakpoint.</li>
<li>A named accelerator you are applying to this cycle, with the deadline.</li>
<li>Open source is encouraged, but you can keep the repo private. If you do, share access with uk@superteam.fun so we can review the code.</li>
