Accelerators and incubators are important for the progress of the startup ecosystem. As Amsterdam is a thriving city in Europe when it comes to startups, there are several accelerators and incubators to motivate the early stage startups and entrepreneurs to provide them with the necessary training and direction to move towards success.
On the similar lines, Rockstart is a startup incubator based in Amsterdam. It was founded by Oscar Kneppers, Rune Theill and Don Ritzen and conducts programs to provide the young startups and entrepreneurs the right platform. The company supports the entrepreneurs and connects them with the bright minds in the industry. It also provides them access to talents, capital, corporate partners and coaching in the industry.
Now, the accelerator has announced its second AI Accelerator program for the owners of AI-based startups to grow their companies and also scale them globally. Taking place in Den Bosch in the Netherlands, this program will require talented entrepreneurs from all over the world spend the next 180 days in building and refining their products, getting inputs from mentors and connecting to potential investors and customers.
This program succeeds the first AI program, which was quite successful with three alumni raising nearly €1.2 million in just 6 months after the program. Also, a wide range of collaborations between startups and corporates were facilitated.
Today, Silicon Canals takes a look at these nine global startups from seven countries that will take part in Rockstart’s second AI accelerator program and how they have ideas worth sharing.
