The North Carolin Founder Institute, the local chapter of the world's largest pre-seed startup accelerator, is proud to announce the newest Alumni from the North Carolina Fall 2024 program.
After meticulous selection process and intense four months of aggressive business-building sprints, constant evaluation, and feedback from investors and mentors, just 4 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 North Carolin's top startup experts and investors.
And now, without further ado, we present the Alumni of the North Carolin program:
- Quarx - Providing affordable education financing to underserved students through an AI-driven peer-to-peer lending platform, addressing the lack of accessible funding options for those excluded by traditional lenders.
- RevolutionAI - Empowering individual investors with hedge fund-level insights and automated trading strategies through SentiVest.ai, our proprietary AI platform, enabling smarter, data-driven investment decisions.
- Thrive - Transforming chronic health management by offering insurance-covered, AI-supported, root-cause healthcare, empowering everyday people to overcome conditions like diabetes and heart disease through personalized, nutrition-centered solutions.
- VennPD - Developing an online and mobile app platform to help K-12 teachers engage in effective professional development through live, virtual, and meaningful training sessions.
The North Carolina Fall 2024 program would not have been possible without help, because it truly takes a city to raise a startup.
