A WORD FROM OUR FOUNDER

Why We're Doing This

World Talent Accelerator exists for one reason: the next big AI breakthrough won't come from the usual places. It will be built by brilliant, under-the-radar engineers from Central & Eastern Europe. They lack access, not ability.

We connect this hidden talent to the Bay Area, giving them mentors and real research opportunities.
