About Basis Set

At Basis Set, we invest in exceptional people early.

We’ve been backing AI companies since 2017, before ChatGPT was a household name. We were the first investors in mem0, the most popular universal memory layer for agents (50k github stars). From the beginning, we’ve approached founders and operators from first principles — studying the underlying attributes that actually drive exceptional outcomes.

The Agentic Memory Track is for early-career builders excited about one of the most important problems in AI: memory and context management. As agents move from demos to real products, the frontier is no longer just model capability, it’s what systems remember, how they retrieve the right context, and how they adapt over time.

This program is designed for people who want to help build that future: persistent memory, personalization, retrieval, context management, and the infrastructure and product decisions that make AI systems actually useful in the real world.

Basis Set AI Fellows

Built for people at a career inflection point, especially:

• Technical candidates who want stronger product, customer, and go-to-market judgment by working directly with users of agent memory systems and shipping in forward-deployed environments
• Product, business, and operations candidates who want to build hands-on technical projects implementing memory, retrieval, and context management

The goal is the same: help you become someone who can connect product, engineering, and strategy inside high-growth AI companies. If you’re ambitious, high-agency, and want to grow into a more cross-functional operator, this program is designed for you.
