We just sunset the @neo Accelerator and launched Neo Residency, bringing together 12 startup founders and 8 student teams in one intergenerational cohort.

The world is changing.
The classic venture ownership math that defined silicon valley was built for a fading era. Today’s best early-stage founders learn through their networks and lived experiences, iterate quickly, get product signals at lightning speed, and think carefully about every % of dilution. They understand that retaining long-term ownership is how you preserve future upside and build enduring teams.
So our model evolved.
Founders in Neo Residency receive $750k uncapped upfront, and we get the right to buy up to 5% in the next round.
This structure gives founders maximal flexibility while allowing us to build alongside them, demonstrate value every day, and earn meaningful, founder-aligned ownership at a future date.
Beyond capital, at a time of mass startup formation, we've intentionally kept our deal volume low and selection bar high. That allows us to give our full weight to each team - and it creates a real market signaling advantage. Brilliant founders will succeed with or without any investor, but being part of Neo helps them go faster, feel cared for, and think bigger.
Neo was never about getting in cheaply or maximizing ownership on day one, but growing the pie.
And we love helping founders grow their pie.
