A note from our founder
We started with the support of a community. Now we want to contribute to yours.
ShareAI was born in Timișoara, Romania. Along the way, we took part in pre-acceleration and acceleration programs and benefited from the mentorship, opportunities, and support of Romania’s startup communities.
We know what it means when someone takes the time to understand your idea, shares their experience, or connects you with people you would not have reached on your own.
Through ShareAI Ecosystem Partner Program, we’re making our technology, our experience, and our relationships available to the organizations supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs.
For the startups in your program, that means more than access to a platform. It means people to speak with, tools to build a business with, and opportunities to reach beyond their existing network.
From Timișoara, Romania. For founders everywhere. For AI that serves humanity.

ShareAI for Startups
Help your founders turn what they build into a business.
Your teams may be developing a new application, an AI agent, or an entirely different way for people to work with AI. ShareAI gives them a way to connect that work to revenue.
0% platform fee on eligible Builder earnings
Through ShareAI for Startups, accepted teams receive 0% ShareAI platform fee on eligible application margin for their first 12 months, within their active program tier’s monthly limit.
The benefit applies to the startup’s eligible margin—not to the underlying cost of running AI models.
Explore ShareAI for StartupsThey build the product and set their markup. We handle the connected AI billing.
The startup sets its own surcharge on AI usage. When a customer uses the connected application, agent, or agent harness, ShareAI measures the usage and bills the customer for the model costs plus that surcharge.
The surcharge generates earnings for the startup. ShareAI connects the usage taking place inside the product with the payment made by the end customer.
Teams keep control of their application, hosting, and distribution. They can connect AI usage from a SaaS product, a desktop application, or self-hosted software without moving the whole product to ShareAI. Supported integrations and account terms apply.
Cash payouts are available to validated company accounts after the applicable 45-day review period.
Multiple AI models, without multiple provider wallets to manage
Teams can access supported models through a single AI Gateway and fund connected usage through their ShareAI Wallet. They can spend more time developing the product instead of maintaining separate integrations and balances for every provider they use through ShareAI.
Support that starts with the founder’s goals
We take the time to understand what the team is building, who it serves, and how the founders intend to make it commercially viable.
That conversation helps connect the technical decisions with the business decisions: which integration fits the product, how usage should be priced, and what the team needs to get started. Participating startups also have access to technical support for their ShareAI integration.
What your founders receive
What your founders receive through your partnership.
The relationship with your organization brings additional support to the startups you work with—not simply a different application link.
Free mentorship with a ShareAI founder
Startups in partner cohorts can access free mentorship with one of our founders.
These sessions focus on the decisions in front of the team: how to introduce AI into the product, how to approach monetization, where the integration fits, and what needs to happen before the next milestone.
We agree on the format with your program team so the sessions fit the cohort’s stage and needs.
Introductions to technology companies we work with
Where there is a relevant fit, we introduce founders to teams at major technology companies we collaborate with.
Those conversations can help founders explore technology programs, potential partnerships, and opportunities beyond their existing network. We make introductions around a specific need or opportunity, with the receiving partner’s agreement.
Opportunities to bring a ShareAI founder into your program
You can invite a ShareAI founder to speak with your cohort or participate in an event, including in-person sessions.
Topics can draw on our own experience of building ShareAI, developing AI products, and creating revenue models around them.
Speaking engagements are arranged individually, subject to availability and the founder’s discretion.
ShareAI Creator
For teams building their own models, bring infrastructure and distribution into the same conversation.
A startup developing a custom AI model needs more than somewhere to upload it. It needs a way to serve that model, reach potential users, and earn from actual usage.
Through the Creator benefits offered to eligible partner startups, deployment and infrastructure-maintenance fees are waived for models hosted on ShareAI’s decentralized network.
Instead of arranging separate datacenter capacity and operating the serving infrastructure themselves, participating teams can bring a supported model into the network and make it available to ShareAI’s customers.
The model creator retains control over the supported serving permissions and commercial arrangements.
For the startup, this creates a route to earn from inference usage, alongside access to an existing network of potential customers.
Model approval, infrastructure compatibility, and the agreed Creator terms apply. Earnings depend on actual customer usage; hosting and listing do not guarantee demand.
Ecosystem Partner Levels
As the partnership grows, so does the support available to your startups.
Ecosystem Partner Levels give the relationship room to develop as your organization grows and more startups participate.
Depending on the partner level, additional benefits can include:
- Discounts on AI credits for eligible startups, helping participating teams make their available budget go further.
- Premium visibility in the ShareAI App Marketplace, giving eligible applications additional opportunities to be discovered.
- Additional fee waivers or expanded zero-fee allowances, where included in the relevant program and partner level.
Each level sets out the available benefits, who can access them, and any limits. Your team can see what is available today and what further participation may unlock.
Which teams in your cohort could benefit?
The program is not limited to AI-native SaaS companies.
It can be relevant to deep-tech startups, open-source and open-core businesses, self-hosted software, products sold through one-time purchases, and service-based companies. It also supports conversations with teams building agents, developer tools, specialist applications, and custom AI models.
The question is not whether every startup fits the same category. It is where ShareAI can contribute to the business each team is building.
For a pre-accelerator, the first conversation may be about the product and its future revenue model. For an accelerator, it may be about an integration already underway, growing usage, or bringing a proprietary model to market.
Your whole cohort does not need to be at the same stage. We establish the partnership with your organization and confirm individual startup benefits as teams meet the relevant requirements.
