Building the AI Ecosystem
We unite top corporates, startups, investors, and university labs to create a collaborative AI ecosystem that accelerates innovation, commercialization, and industry transformation.
Collaborative AI Ecosystem
Accelerating AI Impact
Leading AI startups
The startups that are leading AI for our target industries will be invited to participate in the network – beyond just the NextStar portfolio. Startup CEOs provide corporates with AI capabilities and external innovation opportunities and investors with deal flow.
Top Investors
Leading VCs, CVCs and late-stage investors will be invited to join the network. Investors provide capital to startups and co-investment opportunities and insights to corporates. We will also include our LP’s who desire the connection to these communities.
University Labs
Much of the pioneering work in AI is happening at university labs. Leading researchers will provide perspective on cutting edge technologies and find commercialization partners through the network.
Top Corporates
Corporates are potential customers or partners for the Next Star portfolio, providing key insights on top challenges for AI transformation, timing, roadmap and domain expertise.
