NetApp Excellerator picks five AI startups for Cohort 15
NetApp’s Excellerator program has selected five startups for its 15th cohort, all focused on AI applications in software engineering, cybersecurity, and enterprise data management. The companies hail from India, the U.S., and Israel, reflecting the accelerator’s global scope.
The cohort’s themes suggest alignment with areas where AI startups have been active. Some companies have explored AI-driven software engineering tools, while others have bundled AI agents with infrastructure to address operational challenges. Cybersecurity has also seen activity, including funding for AI-powered solutions. NetApp’s accelerator has historically offered mentorship, access to its customer base, and cloud credits, though details for this cohort remain undisclosed.
The focus on enterprise data management may indicate an interest in startups that could integrate AI with existing infrastructure rather than developing standalone models.
The extent to which these startups differentiate—or whether they address specific enterprise needs—remains to be seen. If they gain traction, pilot deployments or customer announcements might emerge in the coming quarters.
