AI for Math Fund (XTX Markets + Renaissance Philanthropy)

Most relevant AI4Math-specific funding

  • Total: $18M (first round, doubled from initial $9.2M)
  • Per grant: Up to $1,000,000
  • Duration: Up to 24 months
  • Eligibility: Researchers, nonprofits, companies, mathematicians, software engineers
  • Advisor: Terence Tao (Fields Medalist)
  • Website: renaissancephilanthropy.org
  • 2025 Recipients: 29 inaugural grants

Focus Areas:

  1. Production-ready open-source tools (autoformalization, proof generation, verified code synthesis)
  2. Open datasets of theorems, proofs, math problems
  3. Field building (textbooks, courses, community resources)
  4. Moonshot ideas (high-risk, high-reward AI math research)

Application Strategy

For Startups:

  1. AI for Math Fund - accepts companies, up to $1M non-dilutive
  2. NSF SBIR/STTR - requires US entity, quick seed funding
  3. Stack accelerators: YC + Google AI First + NVIDIA Inception

For Academics:

  1. NSF AIMing - primary funding source
  2. AI for Math Fund - open-source tools and datasets
  3. Simons Foundation - long-term collaborations
