CovalentAI, a startup in the Advanced Technology Development Center’s ATDC Accelerate portfolio, is among the 10 companies chosen to be part of the Google For Entrepreneurs Exchange: AI & Machine Learning with Impact Hub Zurich.

CovalentAI’s technology tests software applications and Internet of Things platforms before they are released. 

The Google For Entrepreneurs Exchange is a week-long immersion program designed to bridge the gap between startups, experts, and new markets. Each Exchange session brings together startups from around the world in a specific industry at a Google campus or Google for Entrepreneurs partner location. The goal is to improve their product, prepare for funding, and meet potential clients.

“I consider it a great opportunity to be one of the 10 AI (artificial intelligence) companies to chosen for the Google For Entrepreneurs Exchange,” said Robin Mays, CovalentAI’s co-founder. “It  has been a long 2 yearrs to position the company to be ready to take advantage of these types of opportunities to drive our business growth and development.

CovalentAI also is an Ascend2020 Atlanta company. Ascend2020, an initiative supported by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is a technology startup and small business support ecosystem for minority-led companies across metro Atlanta.

As an ATDC portfolio company, CovalentAI has focused on honing its pitch and differentiating itself from its competitors, said Kirk Barnes, an ATDC startup catalyst.

“The company has a compelling platform in the AI space, and we looked at bringing more focus on how its offerings are different and how to pitch and present to potential customers with that in mind,” Barnes said. “We worked with Robin and her team to help them not only identify and understand their competitive advantages, but how to best leverage them in the marketplace.”
