Non-equity assistance in AI covers accelerator grants, incubator support, and government-backed programs where recipients receive resources without surrendering equity. The 29 companies shown here span rounds dated from October 2021 through October 2022, with geographic reach extending from Ramat Gan (Atidot) and Tel Aviv (NoTraffic) in Israel to Bengaluru (Signzy, LivNSense Technologies) and Ahmedabad (Oizom) in India, while the US accounts for the largest single cluster — 12 companies across California, New York, Oregon, and Washington.
Round amounts are almost uniformly undisclosed. The five exceptions — SharpShark (Santiago), Rogo (New York), Droice Labs (New York), Tag.bio (San Francisco), and Assaia (Zürich) — each reported exactly $100K, a figure typical of structured accelerator grants. A distinct six-company intake on July 6, 2022, including InfinStor, CellChorus, RocketML, Signzy, SandLogic Technologies, and Sparkflows, points to a coordinated program cohort rather than independent fundraises closing on the same day.
