Intel Ignite, the early-stage accelerator programme by Intel Corporation aimed at deep tech startups, has recently announced the selection of 30 groundbreaking startups to join its spring ’23 cohort across the United States, Europe, and Israel. 

Launched in 2019, the accelerator programme will utilise Intel’s vast resources to help early-stage deep tech companies achieve product-market fit, optimise their valuation, and drive lasting strategic impact. 

Since the programme began, participating companies have achieved significant results with more than $1.5B in funding. 

Over 800 startups applied for the spring ’23 cohorts. More than 300 judges, including Intel insiders and experts from the global startup ecosystem, participated in the evaluation process.

Tzahi Weisfeld, Intel Vice President and General Manager of Intel Ignite says, “We’re excited to welcome the spring ’23 cohorts to our program. Despite the current economic headwinds, these startups have already garnered an average of $7.1M in funding each. This shows that promising deep tech startups are still getting the funding they need to reach the next level.”
