Amazon is looking for startups that can build innovative technologies using the company’s Alexa artificial intelligence platform.
The tech giant today announced the Alexa Accelerator, a new program it will launch next year in partnership with Techstars. The two companies will work together to host accepted startups at the University of Washington’s Startup Hall in Seattle, with the first cohort kicking off in July 2017.
The 13-week program will support early-stage companies “advancing the state-of-the-art in voice-powered technologies, interfaces and applications, with a focus on Alexa domains such as connected home, wearables and hearables, enterprise, communication devices, connected car and health and wellness,” Techstars noted today.
