Gen AI goes corporate: new programme from international accelerator
Intema, an international Deep Tech accelerator, announces a new online, equity-free programme for Generative AI startups and mature companies to prepare them for a successful launch in the corporate environment.
Ten promising solutions, competing with such heavyweight players as ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL-E, and CoPilot, will have the opportunity to test their products and business hypotheses, get access to a large number of corporations, take a chance to launch a paid pilot, or secure up to $10 million in investments from corporate and venture funds.
The acceleration programme is designed for developers of text, image, and video generation technologies, 3D object and space generation products, Gen AI for HR, and Business Intelligence. Moreover, that accelerator will benefit companies that create solutions for pair programming and automatic code generation, automated data markup, chatbots, etc.
Starting from September, in the span of 12 weeks, participants will manage to upgrade their core technologies with access to computing powers for deploying and training ML models, Big Data repositories from partner corporations, as well as thorough technical audits of products and recommendations on optimisation of algorithms. Business mentors and technical professionals in generative AI, machine learning, MLOps, and data science, drawn from the largest DeepTech corporations, will assist the teams at the individual sessions.
By the end of the acceleration programme startups will have the opportunity to commercialise their technologies, launch paid pilots, and integrate their solutions with real corporations. The programme’s finish line will be marked by a big online Demo Day on November. Intema does not seek any share in the startups in exchange for the acceleration, ensuring that participants retain full ownership of their ventures.
“According to McKinsey Gen AI is capable of adding from $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion to the global economy annually, which is simply enormous,” said Alex Posternak, CIO and Co-Founder of Intema. “Right now we are witnessing hundreds, if not thousands of companies optimise their internal processes and enhance performance with ChatGPT, Midjourney, DALL-E, and CoPilot. So, our task is to gather up-and-coming startups and guarantee them a safe environment to test their technological solutions and find the application for the unique expertise in generative AI”.
To participate in the accelerator, companies must be targeted at commercialising a technology, be at least in the stage of testing a working technology and have a strong team. There are no limitations on the countries of the projects, but it’s important to have in mind, that the language of the accelerator is English. Applications are open till 1 August 2023.
