Startup Program
Frontier tooling, priced for the pre-revenue stage.
Credits across Nokuva, Tavoc, and Foltrac, direct access to our engineers, and the efficiency research that keeps your inference bill from deciding your runway.

What's included
Built to extend runway, not decorate a deck.
Product credits
Up to $25k across Nokuva, Tavoc, and Foltrac for 12 months — enough to design, build, and deploy a real product without the tooling line item.
Efficiency office hours
Monthly sessions with our efficiency researchers. Bring your inference bill; leave with a distillation or context-compression plan.
Architecture reviews
1:1 sessions with the engineers who built our protocols, reviewing your agent architecture before the expensive mistakes are load-bearing.
Early access
New protocol drafts, product betas, and dataset releases land in the program cohort before they're public.
Founder community
A private channel of program founders building AI-native products, plus quarterly cohort calls with the LegionEdge team.
Launch support
Graduating products get a feature in our newsletter and customer-story treatment on this site — real distribution, not a logo wall.
How the program works
A year in the program, end to end.
- 01
Apply
Tell us what you're building and where AI-native tooling fits. Applications take fifteen minutes and are reviewed by a human — usually within a week.
- 02
Onboard
Accepted teams get credits provisioned, a kickoff architecture session, and an invite to the founder community — all in the first week.
- 03
Build
Twelve months of credits, office hours, and early access while you ship. We check in quarterly; otherwise we stay out of your way.
- 04
Graduate
At the end of the batch, teams move to standard pricing with a founder discount — and the ones with a story to tell get the launch feature.
Who it's for
The bar, in plain terms.
