PedalStart concludes 8th edition of acceleration program ‘Start-up Sprint’ Startup accelerator PedalStart has recently concluded the 8th edition of its flagship fast-paced acceleration program ‘Start-up Sprint’ in Bengaluru. This free-of-cost Start-up Sprint hosted by PedalStart has, to date, provided mentorship and support to over 65 startup founders across India and facilitated raising over $1.5 million in collective investments across four promising cohort startups. Additionally, it has witnessed participation from over 250 investors and mentors, including numerous VCs, angels, and HNIs. The accelerator collaborates with selective founders, providing them with best-in-the-industry mentorship, strategic guidance, and insights to help them thrive and eventually enable few of them with funding cheques. The program brings together founders of a few high-potential startups across diverse sectors and from various parts of the country in each Sprint for co-learning-and-building, go-to-market (GTM) execution, feedback loops, and 1:1 mentorship from accomplished operators and mentors. PedalStart has already held eight successful editions of the Sprint, helping several startups to accelerate their early-stage launches and growth, and also with raising investments to scale their ventures. The offline sessions led by mentors and experts provide valuable industry knowledge and insights, delve into the participating startups’ business models, operations, growth bottlenecks, and assist them in building a roadmap to execute their short-term and long-term vision. Over the past few months, Shoegr, InsightAI, Nuvie, and Flowwat have emerged as some of the notable startups coming out from the PedalStart Start-up Sprint.

Donald Norman, the pioneer of user experience (UX) and former Vice President at Apple, believes that designers should take advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) and lead in shaping its development. He urges designers to go beyond being told what to do and instead determine what needs to be done. Norman emphasizes the need for a broader education in design, incorporating technology, human behavior, and business. He also advocates for a shift towards humanity-centered design that considers the environment, cultures, and all living things. Norman suggests adopting a circular economy approach and transitioning from product-based to service-based business models. He encourages designers to lead and address the weaknesses of emerging technologies, including AI, by incorporating new principles and focusing on user research.
