AWS announces 35 generative AI startups selected for ML Elevate 2023
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly advancing technology that has captivated businesses of all sizes and across sectors with its ability to comprehend and generate realistic conversations, stories, images, videos, and music across diverse domains. Indian startups are at the forefront of harnessing generative AI technology to build applications to accelerate innovation and drive transformation. A recent study by NASSCOM highlighted that the count of generative AI startups in India has more than doubled from 2021 to 2023.
To enable generative AI startups to accelerate their journey, AWS, in association with Accel, launched the AWS ML Elevate program in July 2023.
The program received over 400 applications from startups across India, out of which, 35 Indian startups have been selected to be part of the AWS ML Elevate 2023 cohort. The applicant startups were screened across various scoring parameters such as market opportunity, product robustness, underlying tech stack, and business viability. The selected startups offer distinctive and forward-looking generative AI solutions such as drug discovery, content generation (including audio, images, videos, textual), code generation, and others.
The program offers the selected startups technical and business mentorship, and guidance from experts, along with access to a community of industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and VCs. The AWS ML Elevate 2023 cohort participants will also receive access to impactful AI models and tools, the AWS Activate Program, and up to $200,000 in AWS credits. The cohort will also have the opportunity to scale production-ready generative AI applications on Amazon SageMaker JumpStart and get access to curated resources and one-on-one office hours, supplemented with networking with founders, operators, and experts in the AI/ML domain.
As a part of the ML Elevate 2023 programme, these startups will engage in a series of sessions that will help them focus on evolving their product-market fit, set up a strong technical foundation for a scalable product, and develop capabilities to drive fundraising opportunities.
