How should a solo founder with a non LLM AI prototype get early support?

I am a solo founder with a working AI prototype that does not rely on LLMs or scaling.

I have tried reaching out to AI researchers, angels, micro-grant programs, and accelerators, but haven’t yet found the support yet.I have a public technical article and a demo video.

Now I am looking for practical advice on next steps:

Where do early-stage, unconventional technical ideas usually get serious feedback?

Are there communities that engage with non mainstream AI work?

I would appreciate guidance from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

Thanks.
