About the Program
Spacecubed's AI Fellowship is a 3-month, in-person program designed for ambitious founders ready to build and launch AI-driven products. Whether you’re refining an idea or accelerating an early build, this residency gives you the structure, tools and environment to move fast.
We're selecting twelve high-potential teams to embed inside our innovation hubs in Perth and Western Sydney — working side-by-side as one connected national cohort.
Fellows gain access to compute, hands-on support, curated customer and investor pathways, and a focused environment built for execution. No noise. No theory. Just momentum.
In 90 days, you’ll move from concept to a validated product — with the foundations in place to scale.

Who Should Apply
- AI-First Founders: Startups building core AI products (using LLMs, computer vision, or autonomous agents) where AI is the primary value driver, not just an added feature.
- Early-Stage Builders: Teams moving from Idea → MVP → Early Traction who are ready to rapidly validate their product in a market-ready environment.
- Technical Teams Needing Resources: Founders requiring high-level compute power (GPU access) and cloud infrastructure credits to scale their technical stack.
- Location-Based Startups: AI ventures currently based in or able to work from Perth or Western Sydney for the duration of the 3-month residency.
- Growth-Focused Entrepreneurs: Scalable B2B or consumer-facing startups looking for peer accountability and direct access to a network of mentors and investors.
From Our Founders
“The AI Fellowship provided the momentum, mentorship, and community we needed to take PsychReady from an ambitious AI simulation prototype to a live product in the hands of customers. The program challenged our assumptions and was invaluable for refining our go-to-market and clinical validation strategy. I'd recommend the program in a heartbeat to any founder looking to turn deep-tech or high-impact ideas into scalable, real-world solutions.”
Tuki Attuquayefio
PsychReady
“The AI Fellowship helped us go from an early concept into a focused, market-ready product. We strengthened our product strategy, validated key assumptions with real users, and moved toward commercial traction. I would recommend the program to founders who want to challenge their assumptions, sharpen their product, and turn AI capabilities into something customers will actually use and pay for.”
