Seedrs and Microsoft have jointly launched SERIES AI, an AI-focused accelerator program for startups with a four-week curriculum starting May 1, 2024. The program aims to provide resources, guidance, and mentorship to founders developing their AI solutions. Six startups will be selected as finalists and given the chance to pitch their business in front of VC firms Vektor Partners and SFC along with other industry experts. The initiative is open for early-stage startups in any business sector actively developing AI capabilities. Seedrs Managing Director John Lake stated that the UK emerges as a world leader in the AI industry because of its thriving environment and talented people. The UK AI sector was the second most-funded sector last year. Moreover, Seedrs and Microsoft intend to offer the selected startups valuable expertise and AI insights to help them fine-tune their AI products and obtain growth capital. General Manager of Partner Business for Microsoft UK, Orla McGrath, commented his excitement about the great potential of the startups and the opportunity to utilize their innovative AI solutions on the Microsoft Cloud to revolutionize every industry for the better.
