Tiicker Inc., a Grand Rapids-based startup, was recently accepted into a global financial technology accelerator program run by Amazon Web Services (AWS). The six-week program focuses on the future of financial technology with artificial intelligence (AI) and other machine learning capabilities. Tiicker is gaining access to one-on-one business and technical mentorship, fundraising opportunities, exposure to venture capital firms and other opportunities that will help advance the company’s operations and improve access to the latest technologies. Tiicker has already leveraged some machine learning aspects that help platform users identify brands and content that matches their interests, and is looking to further explore AI adoption through the accelerator program.
