Venture capital firm Radical Ventures is seeking artificial intelligence researchers who might want to start their own company, offering more than a dozen “founder-curious” academics and tech workers about $250,000 in compute credits to try out new ideas.

The program, which will give away about $4 million, is part of a larger effort by Radical Ventures to entice more academics and tech workers to try their hand at startups in the booming AI industry.
