We offer two distinct tracks for ambitious builders, both with access to an elite community, catered dinners and events, plus aspirational experiences.
We own an NBA basketball team and host games on the floor, concerts, hackathons, poker nights, and more.
Pre-idea Track
For explorers ready to dive deep. Get $30k grants and beautiful office spaces in SF or NY to become an expert at something, solve a riddle, write a research paper, prove a math theorem, master chess or poker, develop a new drug, design a chip, build a new LLM, or search for aliens! Get direct access to join world-class companies like Cognition, Mercor, and Ramp through our portfolio founders and network.
Post-idea Track
For builders with a vision. Get up to $1M uncapped funding to launch your startup, with potential follow-on funding up to $10M+ as you scale and grow.
The Soma Story
Soma was founded ten years ago by Aneel Ranadive. Our mission is to be day‑one partners to the next generation of superhuman builders—the next Jobs, Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg, etc. See more
Soma seeded 30+ unicorns
