Shiva operates as a structured community aimed at accelerating technology entrepreneurship through advanced use of artificial intelligence. The company provides monthly financial grants, access to AI tools and cloud infrastructure, and hands-on product, development, and business mentorship. Its model supports founders from diverse backgrounds, ranging from first-time developers to entrepreneurs who began projects in challenging circumstances. By combining funding with strategic guidance, Shiva seeks to shorten development cycles and facilitate international market entry for its members’ products. The platform emphasizes intensive AI adoption to speed up product iteration and operational efficiency. Founded by Lucas Marques in São Paulo, the company recently secured a sizeable pre-seed raise to expand its support programs and infrastructure. While still in its earliest stage, Shiva’s $10 million funding round positions it to finance a larger cohort of entrepreneurs and deepen its AI capabilities.
