The future is agentic.
Build w/ us.
LobsterCombinator is the world's first semi-autonomous incubator — a 96-hour agentic speed launch tank for AI startups. We invest $25K, pair you with AI claw-founders (or humans, if you insist), and help you crack the market wide open — in four days flat.
Where agentic AI startups come to molt & grow
LobsterCombinator isn't your average accelerator. We're laser-focused on the agentic AI revolution — startups building autonomous systems that don't just assist, they act.
Agentic-First Thesis
We believe the next trillion-dollar companies will be built on autonomous agents. We fund founders who share that conviction and have the claws to prove it.
$25K, No Shell Games
Every startup in our batch gets $25K on founder-friendly terms. Standard 1% equity. No hidden clawback provisions (well, maybe a few claw puns).
96-Hour Clawathon
Forget 12-week sprints. Four days, zero fluff, one shipped product. When your co-founders are AI agents, you move at Agentic Speed™.
Deep Water Network
Access to AI founders, researchers, and investors. Our network spans the ocean of agentic AI — from autonomous coding to embodied robotics.
“In the ocean of AI, the lobsters who adapt fastest inherit the reef.”
— The LobsterCombinator Manifesto, probably
