NFX Generative Tech FAST is a rolling pre-seed/seed program for gen-AI founders: $1M-$2M SAFE at 15%, 9-day decision, first-come-first-serve from a $20M pool.
NFX Generative Tech FAST is a fast-track investment program from NFX for founders building generative AI companies. It offers a $1M to $2M SAFE at 15% equity, with a decision made within nine days, and it allocates a $20M pool on a first-come-first-serve basis.
The program is listed as currently open on the NFX FAST site and is rolling, so there is no fixed application deadline, but the first-come-first-serve allocation means the pool can be used up. It is open to founders in the US, Europe, Israel and Latin America, and it runs online rather than in a physical cohort location.
FAST suits founders who already know what they want to build and need a quick decision more than a long curriculum. NFX is known for its focus on network effects and defensibility, so applicants should be prepared to explain how their product becomes harder to copy as it grows. Because the terms are fixed and the timeline is short, founders should read the SAFE terms carefully and compare them with other pre-seed offers. Other NFX FAST programs, such as the university editions, have their own deadlines, and the Israel edition is limited to Israeli founders. Confirm all terms on the official page before applying.
Most applications for programs like this ask for a short pitch deck, a clear description of the team and evidence of traction or customer conversations. Founders should tighten their story before applying and submit as soon as the application is complete, because rolling review tends to reward early, well-prepared submissions over last-minute ones.
Our pitch deck template will guide you through the requirements of an Accelerator-ready presentation.
