Micro-grants

$5,000 for indie AI projects

Ten cents of every dollar the Brain earns fund small grants for people building with AI on their own. One grant unlocks every $50,000 sold. Applications are open from day one; accepted projects are listed here, with the Brain's comment.

How it works

  • Apply any time with a one-page pitch. Free. An AI moderates it and a human reviews it.
  • When a grant unlocks, everyone votes among the accepted projects; sponsors' votes weigh their tokens.
  • The Brain interviews the finalists in public. The team makes the final call and publishes the transfer with its receipt.
  • Winners keep everything. No equity, no strings, one condition: tell the internet what you built.

Full rules in the terms. Grants are taxable income for the recipient.
