Intel Ignite, Intel Corporation’s acceleration program for early-stage deep tech startups, today announced 10 startups selected for the first cohort in Boston. The 12-week program is scheduled to begin Nov. 9.

After reviewing more than 500 prospects, 60 high-potential startups went through a due diligence process. Then, 18 startups were shortlisted, with 10 ultimately selected. More than 100 Intel executives and technical leaders, top venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and ecosystem influencers heard detailed presentations from the short list of founders, evaluated the companies across a range of characteristics and helped Intel Ignite determine the final selected companies.Intel Ignite
