The Cox Cleantech Accelerator, a partnership between Cox Enterprises, gener8tor, and the Georgia Cleantech Innovation Hub, has announced a new cohort of five high-potential startups. These innovative companies are set to drive sustainable innovation, increase industrial efficiency, and enhance infrastructure resilience in the Southeastern U.S.

The company, headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, has annual revenues of $23 billion.

By making industries more efficient, Uptime Analytics could play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions and preserving our planet for future generations.

Each startup in the accelerator receives a $100,000 investment, mentorship from Cox business leaders, and hands-on support in product development, customer acquisition, and fundraising. The program, a twice-yearly event focused on commercial success and helping companies with new product-market fit tap into their first large-scale customers, also engages with founders who reflect the diverse communities impacted by climate change.
