Intuit and Credit Karma, along with Highline Beta, a venture studio and venture capital firm, today announced the second cohort of theIntuit Prosperity AcceleratorTM: AI. This announcement follows the recent launch of Intuit Ventures, further evolving the company’s strategy to drive future innovations by supporting early to mid-stage startups.
The second cohort is comprised of seven early-stage startups from top technology hubs including San Francisco, New York, Toronto and Montreal. These companies were selected based on their ability to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to create solutions that help consumers and small businesses overcome financial challenges. Like the startups from the inaugural program in 2020, these companies share Intuit’s value of being mission-driven. Additionally, they focus on customer obsession to deliver innovative products, ideas, and results.
In an effort to fuel their growth and spur industry innovation, Intuit will partner with the cohort over a five-month period. We will coach them, provide product and technology expertise and connect them to Intuit’s existing consumer and small business customers.
Meet the Cohort:
Adaptive Pulse (Waterloo, ON) helps businesses keep a pulse on every customer while predicting and prioritizing their retention efforts, reducing churn and increasing revenues.
Aphrodite (San Francisco, CA) is a plug-n-play data analytics platform intended to help users drive revenue by providing financial clarity and data-driven insights to small businesses.
Bankuish (New York, NY) is a marketplace that provides gig workers and freelancers a simple way to access affordable banking.
Beam.city Inc (Toronto, ON) is an advertising automation platform that helps businesses optimize their performance and skyrocket profits automatically.
Boom (New York, NY) is on a mission to level the playing field for the 110 million renters in the US by making housing more flexible, affordable, and attainable.
QuoteMachine (Montreal, QC) is a software that brings humans back to digital commerce by helping independent retailers close more deals through simplified and personalized sales processes.
Stamped AI (Quebec City, QC) is an AI platform that streamlines and automates accounting data certification, making small businesses year-end ready, all year round.
The Intuit Prosperity Accelerator: AI is a five-month-long initiative, in which the selected startups will work with Intuit and Highline Beta teams to identify and test growth opportunities using Intuit’s design thinking methodology, Design for Delight (D4D). The cohort will also have access to an exclusive network of mentors, investors and founders as well as the opportunity for follow-on investment from Highline Beta.
