Fuel Accelerator anuncia la quinta cohorte anual de IA/ML para el otoño de 2023

Fuel welcomes 10 companies for innovation in artificial intelligence and machine learning

Startup Junkie’s Fuel Accelerator is delighted to announce the highly anticipated launch of their fifth annual Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning cohort! Eleven companies from across the globe have been carefully selected to participate based on their commitment to innovation in the tech industry.

The cohort consists of companies spanning various fields, including workplace safety, text prediction, education technology, marketing and consumer insights, and professional translation services, all to make up a collaborative peer group.

The companies included in this year’s AI/ML cohort, along with the location of operation:

• Typewise – Zurich, Amsterdam

• Edificar.ai – Salt Lake City, Utah

• Ahorros Juveniles – New York, New York

• Analytics2Go – Sarasota, Florida

• Consciente del comercio minorista – Omaha, Nebraska

• Siemba – Alpharetta, Georgia

• AlgoFace – Carefree, Arizona

• TQintelligence – Atlanta, Georgia

• CLIPr – Seattle, Washington

• SmartEye – Atlanta, Georgia

During the 12-week program, participants will establish connections with industry leaders, startup founders, higher education institutions, and public policy officials. The program offers hands-on education, workshops, and invaluable support to guide companies toward becoming “enterprise-ready.” This will empower them to effectively engage potential buyers, conduct successful beta tests, and navigate their target clients’ bureaucracy, boosting company success.

The program will begin with the Kick-Off event on August 15th.

“We can’t wait to welcome the 5th AI/ML cohort to Bentonville in August,” Grace Gill, Fuel Operational Manager, said, “I’m excited that the Fuel team gets to introduce these companies to the innovative ecosystem of Bentonville that’s so supportive of the program.”

Fuel is built on the idea that entrepreneurship is most effective at fueling our economy when capital is combined with go-to-market expertise. One of Fuel’s direct goals is to equip businesses with the tools they need to establish a strong presence in Northwest Arkansas and drive the region’s ongoing success.

At least one company from every cohort has successfully migrated to NWA. In August, product innovation experts, Simporter (2021 AI/ML alum), relocated their headquarters from Dallas to Bentonville.

“Fuel is an amazing opportunity to engage with mentors with diverse experiences. You learn from leaders from the tech community, the Walmart/Tyson/JB Hunt ecosystem, and capital partners” Simporter CEO Tim Hall said. “The learning path is well organized for tech startups. When it comes to networking and meeting potential customers, some of it is structured by Fuel — but just as important are people you meet by happenstance.”

Fuel is a program directed by Startup Junkie Foundation, en asociación con Catapult Consulting y con el apoyo de programación de GrowthX. Catapult Consulting, dirigida por Tom Douglass, ex director de tecnología emergente de Walmart Stores Inc., brinda una profunda experiencia en estrategia comercial para llevar empresas e ideas a la vanguardia y crear la próxima generación de negocios disruptivos.

Startup Junkie Foundation seguirá colaborando con GrowthX, el fondo de capital riesgo con sede en Silicon Valley, e incorporará su Programa de Aceleración de Mercado (MXP) en el plan de estudios de Fuel. La plataforma en línea MXP de GrowthX permite a los fundadores y a las organizaciones que los respaldan obtener la misma experiencia de lanzamiento al mercado en forma de un acelerador virtual que combina entrenamiento en vivo, capacitación bajo demanda y guías interactivas para ofrecer resultados reales.
