Together Fund has announced the launch of SwarmSpace, a new platform created to support early-stage AI startups with founders linked to India. The Bengaluru and US-based venture capital firm said the initiative combines a community, a 12-week AI studio, and a research lab. Selected startups will receive up to US$1 million in funding along with US$600,000 in partner credits. The AI studio will operate cohorts in Bangalore and Palo Alto, offering mentorship and workspace facilities in Bangalore, Chennai, and Palo Alto.
Startups chosen for the programme will benefit from funding, technical expertise, and resources to help scale their products across India and global markets. The focus areas include enterprise AI, automation, cybersecurity, healthcare, quantum AI, and brain-computer interfaces. As part of the programme, participants will also take part in a week-long immersion in Silicon Valley to engage with industry experts and funding investors. In addition, cloud credits from providers such as OpenAI, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure will give startups access to essential AI infrastructure.
Manav Garg, cofounder and managing partner at Together Fund, described SwarmSpace as a launchpad for new-age AI companies. “Together SwarmSpace is a unique combination of AI studio, research, and community. A launchpad where ambition meets capital, context, and collaboration to back the next generation of iconic AI-first companies,” he said. He also emphasised the fast-changing nature of AI innovation, adding, “Building products in AI today means shifting benchmarks, infrastructure, and user trust, making product-market fit a moving target.”
