Kick off your Wednesday lunch break with these tech updates:
Let’s get reading.
This edition of Hypepotamus is brought to you by Live Oak Bank.
The Big Headline: Christopher Klaus started his first company as a student. Now, he’s one of the most recognizable founders and investors in town. Today, Klaus has brought together a team with Fusen to create more student founders.
We dive into Fusen’s model and how it has built up a network that already spans 15 universities worldwide. More here.
Startup To Watch: Shivani Kulkarni doesn’t have a traditional pitch for her potential customers at places like speech and behavioral therapy clinics.
“I ask one question: who owns caregiver support between sessions?,” she told Hypepotamus. In Kulkarni’s experience, healthcare providers don’t have a good answer. That leaves a huge gap for pediatric and adolescent healthcare. We explore how this FinTech executive has moved into the HealthTech founder seat with a new Atlanta-based startup, SayWell, to address that gap. More here.
Growth-Stage News: Atlanta’s Engage has named eight startups to its 17th cohort, spanning solutions for warehouse robotics, cybersecurity and water reuse. Engage says its corporate partners are looking past AI hype toward solutions for specific operational problems.
Meet the companies and founders selected for Engage.
