Eligible startups must have a minimum viable product or prototype. The program is industry-agnostic, allowing startups across various sectors to access mentorship, tools, and global opportunities for scaling their solutions.

Applications are now open for the first cohort through the accelerator’s website. The Cambridge-based AI company aims to support projects from concept to commercialization with comprehensive, tailored support for participants.
