The US-based venture capital company, Accel has announced the names of Indian startups that were part of the first cohort of its Atoms programme being launched in October 2021. The venture capital company has shortlisted 14 startups for the 100-day programme of learning and mentorship.

As part of the programme, the startups received $250K in non-dilutive capital, one-on-one mentorship from established entrepreneurs and business leaders, as well as access to the global Accel community. 

“We received applications from a diverse set of companies, and the sheer range was a testament to the imagination, creativity, and acumen of the entrepreneurs.
