Help shape the Secure AI
Operating System.
We’re opening 50 Alpha spots for the operators, developers, and teams who’ll use Akora — and the rest of the suite as it ships — in real work, and tell us what’s broken before we ship to the rest of the world. 3 months, direct access to the team building this.
- 50Spots, total
- 3 moProgramme length
- Q3 2026Begins
Four things, in writing.
- 01
First access to Akora
Akora lands first. Lynk and the rest of the suite follow as we ship — your Alpha access carries forward.
- 02
Direct line to engineering
Your bug reports and feature requests go straight into our weekly cycle. Private Discord channel with the team building this — not a support queue.
- 03
Alpha Team status
Recognition for being part of Alpha Cohort 1, plus a lifetime perk on paid plans when we go GA. Specifics shared on acceptance. Your Alpha Team role stays with the account — it doesn’t make you a part of e21, but it does mark you as one of the people who helped shape it.
Four things, also in writing.
- 01
Use Akora in real work
Not as a side project. The signal we need comes from people putting it under real load with real data.
- 02
File honest reports
Bugs, friction, features you wished existed, things that almost-but-not-quite worked. We'd rather hear the awkward truth early than fix it in production.
- 03
Sign the Alpha agreement
Acceptance is subject to signing our Alpha Programme Agreement — NDA-style cover for unreleased product details. You see it before you commit.
- 04
Hold the line on the alpha
No public screenshots, no spoilers, no breakdowns on social. We go quiet together until we go GA together.
50 testers.
Not 500.
We can only meaningfully engage with so many testers at once. A small cohort means better feedback loops, faster shipping, and a real conversation with each of you — not a help-desk ticket queue.
Particularly relevant if you work in a regulated industry (finance, insurance, healthcare, government, legal), build on AI infrastructure as a developer, or currently use desktop AI tools and want them genuinely private. You don’t need to be at a big company — solo operators and small teams are exactly who we want.
From here to Q3 2026.

Before you apply.
What do I actually need to bring to the programme?
A real workflow you'd put Akora into, time to use it weekly, and the willingness to write up what you find. Not a corporate procurement process — solo operators and small teams are exactly who we want.
Will my data or test sessions be used to train your AI?
No. The data-sovereignty story is the product — we honour it for testers too. Your usage stays yours; what we collect is the bug reports, feature requests, and feedback you choose to share with us.
What if I'm accepted and then can't make time for it?
Tell us. We'd rather pass the spot to someone on the waiting list than have a quiet member. The Alpha agreement allows either side to end the engagement.
When will I hear back if I apply?
Within four weeks of submitting your application. Selection runs through mid-summer, so earlier applications are reviewed first.
Is this paid in either direction?
You don't pay us; we don't pay you. You get early access and Alpha Team status on paid plans when we go GA — recognition for being part of the cohort that shaped the product, not a stake in the company. We get the feedback we need to ship something we can stand behind.
