# Mitosis for Startups

> 5,000 free Cortex credits for startups and consultancies building with AI.
> No funding requirement. Apply at https://mitosislabs.ai/startups

## What Cortex is

Cortex is Mitosis Labs' memory engine. It turns your email, chat, documents and
app data into a knowledge graph that you and your AI agents can query in natural
language, with every fact traceable back to its source. It cuts the cost of AI
use to a tenth and reduces AI hallucinations by 98%.

Connect Google Workspace, WhatsApp, GitHub and custom feeds. Reach the memory
from any agent through the npm SDK (`@mitosislabs/sdk`), an MCP server, or the
public REST API.

## The offer

- 5,000 Cortex credits, free on approval.
- Valid for 12 months from approval.
- Credits are the usage unit for ingest, embeddings, enrichment and API traffic.
- No funding requirement and no headcount cap.

## Who it is for

1. Companies putting AI to work inside their own business. Connect your context
   once and every agent you run inherits it, instead of re-explaining it each
   session.
2. Companies, consultancies and agencies that build or sell AI to other
   businesses. Ship Cortex instead of rebuilding ingestion and retrieval for
   every client engagement. Each client gets an isolated memory.

## How to apply

Apply at https://mitosislabs.ai/startups

The form asks for: which of the two profiles above describes you, your name,
work email (a company domain, not Gmail or Outlook), company name, company
website, team size, and what you would use Cortex for.

Applications are reviewed by hand, with a reply within two business days.
