What is Prequel?

Prequel is a venture studio that combines financial backing with operational support for creative projects at the intersection of technology and art. Rather than a traditional software tool, it functions as a funding and mentorship platform where creators can pitch their projects for approval and gain access to resources, capital, and industry expertise. The platform allocates $10,000,000 annually to support independent generative artists, tech development studios, and hybrid creative ventures. This makes it particularly valuable for creators seeking not just funding but also strategic guidance and a community of like-minded practitioners.
