Highline Beta and Intuit, the global technology platform that makes TurboTax, QuickBooks, Mint, and Credit Karma are proud to present its second cohort of the Intuit Prosperity Accelerator: AI. The new edition expands to North America and facilitates startup-corporate collaboration by bringing together the most promising AI-driven early stage startups with purpose-driven corporate innovators, technologists and investors.
The second cohort is comprised of seven early-stage startups from top technology hubs including San Francisco, New York, Toronto and Montreal. These companies were selected based on their ability to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to create solutions that help consumers and small businesses overcome financial challenges. Like the startups from the inaugural program in 2020, these companies share Intuit’s value of being mission-driven. Additionally, they focus on customer obsession to deliver innovative products, ideas, and results.
