The Intuit Prosperity Accelerator has curated an inaugural cohort of eight leading tech startups. These solutions are positioned to help solve specific financial challenges that Canadian consumers and small businesses face in the wake of COVID-19.
Through their transformation from a startup into an established technology leader, Intuit has held onto their entrepreneurial spirit in everything they do. They believe that technology can help power prosperity for SMBs, the economy, and all Canadians. For Intuit, everything starts with the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to prosper.
Intuit and Highline Beta, venture studio and venture capital firm, recognize that collaboration between corporations and the global startup ecosystem is critical to moving with urgency in a fast-changing landscape. We need to do more together. A healthy tech innovation environment will be vital to the future of Canada’s economic recovery.
The inaugural cohort of the Intuit Prosperity Accelerator, powered by Highline Beta, is piloting innovative tech solutions to help Canadian small businesses and consumers address future financial health challenges. The startups selected for the accelerator are working closely with dedicated program leads, Intuit’s Innovation Catalysts, and high-calibre experts over four months to guide strategic milestones throughout pilot execution.
