All In Capital Opens First Golden Ticket Cohort For Founders

All In Capital, a pre-seed and seed-stage venture capital firm focused on backing non-obvious founders at the earliest stages, has announced the launch of its Golden Ticket program, along with the opening of its first cohort aimed at supporting early-stage Indian founders building AI-led companies.

Founded by Aditya Singh and Kushal Bhagia, All In Capital invests in founders at the idea and early product stage, with a strong emphasis on speed, founder alignment, and hands-on support. The firm follows a high-conviction, high-volume model and works closely with founding teams on early customer discovery, product-market fit, and go-to-market strategy, particularly across AI, deep tech, and B2B software.

“We are seeing a fundamental shift in how AI companies are being built today. The opportunity is no longer about horizontal tools or generic automation, but about deeply vertical solutions where founders understand a specific industry problem better than anyone else. The next generation of AI companies will be built by technical founders who start close to the customer, iterate fast, and focus on real usage rather than surface-level adoption. Through the Golden Ticket program and its cohorts, we want to back founders at the moment where conviction is high but access is still limited, and help them build globally relevant companies from day one,” said Kushal Bhagia, Co-founder and Partner, All In Capital.

As part of the first Golden Ticket cohort, All In Capital plans to select 20–30 startups through a competitive evaluation process. Selected teams will be eligible for pre-seed funding of up to $300,000 per company, with total capital deployment of up to $1 million. The cohort will culminate in a Demo Day, where participating startups will present to a curated group of investors from the Silicon Valley ecosystem.

The initiative is open to fresh graduates and early-career founders, with a requirement that each team include at least one technical co-founder with expertise in software engineering, AI/ML, or a relevant domain. The cohort will focus on companies building AI solutions for defined industry segments such as healthcare, professional services, and other specialised markets.

As part of the cohort structure, selected founders will be expected to spend 6–12 months in Silicon Valley, working closely with customers, mentors, and partners to iterate on their products and business models. Support will include access to the US startup ecosystem, investor networks, and enterprise customers, along with travel assistance.

Applications for the Golden Ticket cohort will be accepted on a rolling basis. The selection process will assess founding team capability, clarity of the problem being solved, speed of iteration, and openness to feedback. Prior startup experience, revenue, or fully developed products are not mandatory for consideration.
