What it does

Provides a curated, markdown‑formatted list of indie‑built AI startups that are bootstrapped, pre‑seed, or angel‑funded.

When to use it
  • •You need quick market research on early‑stage AI companies for partnership or acquisition scouting.
  • •You’re preparing an investor deck and want to cite comparable indie AI startups.
  • •You want inspiration for product ideas by seeing what niche AI products are already in the market.
Ready-to-paste prompt
grep -i "pre‑seed" README.md | head -n 10
Heads up: The repository is a static markdown list – there’s no API or live data feed, so the information may be outdated; always verify each startup’s current status before acting on it.
