Background
Embed offers 10-12 AI-native companies $250,000 on an uncapped, no-discount MFN SAFE, or at the price of a round closed in the prior 60 days. The page's open-state copy conflicts with passed calendar dates, so current intake status is unknown.
How the application really works
Apply through the official form, but confirm cohort-seven dates before planning because the displayed retreat and Demo dates have passed.
Tips
- Read the cited current official page before applying because program dates and terms are volatile.
- State fit with the documented stage, geography, and attendance model; do not rely on an aggregator's old terms.
- Ask for the complete investment, fee, and follow-on documents when the public page does not publish them.
Watch out for
- $250k uncapped, no-discount MFN SAFE, or the same price as a financing closed in the preceding 60 days.
- The page says early applications are open for cohort seven but still displays March 20-22 and May 14 dates that have passed in 2026 without a year label. Availability is conservatively unknown until Conviction publishes a coherent dated calendar.
Track record
- Conviction names Chai, Cognition, Listen Labs, Physical Intelligence, Pika, Reflection, Somite and Yutori among Embed alumni.
Earlier cohorts were described as below 1% acceptance; a current cohort denominator is not published.
