Venture firm gener8tor and Bronze Valley have chosen five companies for the fall accelerator cohort. The five startups will participate in a 12-week program designed to accelerate their growth.
In addition to a $100,000 investment, each participating startup receives mentorship-based programming and access to a national network of investors.
Bronze Valley-gener8tor partnership has backed dozens of founders bringing their ideas to market over the last five years. This cohort spans AI, health tech, sports tech and enterprise automation.
“The most exciting part of this work is partnering with founders who are building ambitious companies from the ground up,” said Sierra Peña, managing director of the Bronze Valley Investment Accelerator Alabama, powered by gener8tor.
Neil S. Wright, president and CEO of Bronze Valley, added, “The startups in this cohort exemplify truly unique AI-powered technology, with innovative use cases across athletics, data, higher education, medicine and mobility infrastructure. With more than 450 applications for this cohort, the program continues to become increasingly competitive, and these founders have captured our attention with their vision, creativity and potential to make outsized impact.”
The fall cohort are Moonbase AI, based in Mississippi, which builds an essential intelligence layer for complex research organizations; Tag! Fundraising, based in Huntsville, provides an AI-powered platform to create and secure sustainable funding relationships; Neural Wave, based in Georgia, helps doctors automate clinical workflows; Cache AI, based in New York, delivers an intelligence platform for athlete valuation; and DeepCharge, based in Maine and Massachusetts, integrates an AI platform and smart-charging technology to flag at-risk device failure, optimizing warehouse and logistics operations.
The accelerator will culminate at Alabama Founder Fest on December 8 and 9, where founders will pitch to venture capital firms, angel investors, corporate partners and others.
