Entrepreneur in Residence

Build a Real Startup on Vector

Most startups fail because they chase vague ideas in crowded markets or have never enough early momentum to get started. We partner with founders at the earliest stage - pre-revenue, pre-product, even pre-idea - to help you identify the right opportunity and create early momentum.

Vector’s Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) program is designed for ambitious builders who want real startup experience by building and launching a company.

At Vector, we help founders launch and scale AI software businesses. Instead of spending months on development, residents focus on validating ideas, iterating quickly, and getting to revenue in a focused, fast-paced, high-ownership environment.

Our residents gain access to Vector’s modern downtown San Francisco office, a platform to build, launch, and monetize their startups, and direct mentorship from experienced founders who provide hands-on guidance, feedback, and strategic support throughout the ideation and development process.
