The London Founder Institute, the local chapter of the world's largest pre-seed startup accelerator, is proud to announce the newest Alumni from the London program.
After meticulous selection process and intense four months of aggressive business-building sprints, constant evaluation, and feedback from investors and mentors, just 13 companies were able to make it through.
Each of these Founders have demonstrated a high level of perseverance and creativity, and their businesses have been thoroughly vetted and supported by a panel of London's top startup experts and investors.
And now, without further ado, we present the Alumni of the London program:
- FJORD - a company that develops a seaweed-based daily supplement.
- Bloomsbury (artdott)- a Web3 builder for digital art that makes art accessible to everybody, everywhere.
- Accentify- a platform that provides accent training for performers to improve their craft and increase the chance of booking jobs.
- Dokta - a telehealth marketplace that lets health workers turn adhoc requests for medical advice into a simple virtual practice.
- Jumbl - a tool using computer vision to transform the way fashion lovers buy and sell pre-loved fashion across the web.

- Immerspace- a startup that designs and offers space-travel themed immersive experiences to entertain fans of the genre and tourists.
- Creds - a two-sided music licensing marketplace opening new avenues of exposure in digital content for independent artists, and access to quality music for sponsored content creators.
- Eatiful Limited - an app that helps people with unwanted weight to change HOW they eat, through enjoyable learning and immersive practice.

- Halvest- a Shariah-compliant stock trading platform, empowering Muslim and ethically-minded investors worldwide by providing a secure, accessible, and values-aligned avenue for navigating the stock market.
- CyberAutonony- a cybersecurity solution for EV charging networks.
The London program would not have been possible without help, because it truly takes a city to raise a startup.
The graduation will take place on February 7, 2024.
