The program is built for venture-backed startups building agentic workflows that need payments or card issuance. We prioritize autonomous purchasing agents, procurement agents, travel and expense agents, marketplace agents, and agent platforms.
Submit a short application through the form on this page. Admitted teams complete KYB, and onboarding begins from there.
Cohort one runs from August to October 2026, with applications open in July. Cohort two runs from November 2026 to January 2027, with applications opening in October. Details on future cohorts will be posted here as they are confirmed.

No. The program onboards you onto Rain's platform if you are not already building with us.
Transaction data and integration learnings that help us build better infrastructure for agentic use cases. Insights shared beyond your team are aggregated.
Startups transition to standard Rain pricing, with referral incentives for introducing other developer teams. Strong performers become reference customers and co-author case studies with us.
Each cohort runs about ten weeks of active building, inside a quarterly program window that spans application through graduation.
