We are living through the most consequential technological transition in human history. It’s happening faster than almost anyone outside a small group of insiders fully appreciates, and it will introduce significant risks that must be addressed.

The single biggest bottleneck to addressing these risks is a shortage of exceptional founders and leaders – people building the technologies and institutions needed to ensure AI goes well for humanity.

Halcyon exists to support them. As a grantmaker, incubator, and investment firm, we back founders in AI safety, biosecurity and critical cybersecurity with whatever they need, including grants, venture capital, career transition support and a community of peers and world experts.

So far, we've helped founders launch 25 projects that have gone on to raise more than $400 million in funding, with many more in the works.

If you're a talented, experienced, mission-driven leader ready to take on the most important work of your life, we hope you'll join us in rising to the challenge.
