MakerSquare: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

MakerSquare is a two-week AI bootcamp in Austin, TX for professionals who already have a career and want to build with AI — without hiring a developer. The program runs Mon/Wed/Fri, 9am–3pm in Austin. Graduates ship three deployed AI products: a working web app, an AI agent integrated into their existing tools, and a capstone project presented live at Demo Day in front of Austin seed investors. Cohorts are capped at 15 seats. MakerSquare targets operators, domain experts, and career builders — people with a decade of experience in their field who are now learning the technical layer. Applicants complete a take-home project before acceptance.

About FundedIQ's MakerSquare Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for MakerSquare is left off this page rather than filled in.
