Eight Toronto based startups come together with Intuit to enhance their solutions and support the most pressing economic challenges consumers and small businesses currently face
Over the past two years of the Intuit Prosperity Accelerator program, Intuit and Highline Beta have worked with 15 early stage startups across North America to support an open innovation ecosystem that accelerates wins for both startups and Intuit’s customers. Building on the success of the Intuit Prosperity Accelerator : AI and the inaugural program in 2020, the third iteration continues fostering startup-corporate collaboration while improving the financial prosperity of Canadian consumers, self-employed and small businesses.
The Intuit Prosperity Accelerator : Toronto is an equity-free, challenge-based program that involves pairing each startup with an innovation expert at Intuit who will coach them on the company’s approach to customer-driven innovation, known as Design for Delight. This process has propelled Intuit throughout its 40-year history, and involves extensive customer research and experimentation to identify opportunities for innovation and growth. Throughout the program, startups will be leveraging Intuit’s methodology to drive in market experiments, gain valuable customer insights, and ultimately support the prosperity for consumers and small businesses alike.
Furthermore, the combined network of Intuit and Highline Beta provides access to invaluable business and technology expertise while providing the cohort with increased visibility in the investment community at a critical time for the industry.
“Startups that graduate from accelerator programs have a 23% higher survival rate than their counterparts,” said David Marquis, Vice President and Canada Country Manager at Intuit. “We’re excited to connect and create with this promising group of innovators at our new Toronto site, and help these entrepreneurs to realize their startup’s growth potential.”
