Meet our Fall 2026 Cohort
Toru Fujimura, CEO and Aki Fujimura, CFO and COO of 3rdBrain (Eastchester): 3rdBrain is a consulting-tech startup that helps senior executives solve their daily management problems with its proprietary reasoning engine, turning high-quality consulting logic into practical apps for business leaders. 3rdBrain is finishing its MVP and is looking for test users.
Charlotte Carrau, Co-Founder, COO and Eleanor Glenn, Co-Founder, CEO of AtmosOne AI (New Rochelle): AtmosOne helps CFOs and AI infrastructure leads get control of runaway, unpredictable AI compute costs. It automatically reroutes flexible AI workloads to cheaper, greener compute, and displays those costs in real time in a governance console. AtmosOne has one revenue-positive pilot and six more in the pipeline, and is raising a $2M pre-seed round to reach $1M+ per month in routed compute.
Garrett Nenner, CEO and Co-Founder and Baha Abunojaim, CTO of eZorro (West Harrison): eZorro gives self-directed retail investors, and the brokers who serve them, the data and discipline that professionals rely on. It delivers institutional-grade data, strategy construction, and execution context through a single conversational AI interface. The founders previously ran institutional trading desks and platforms at hedge funds, global banks, and analytics vendors. eZorro has paid subscribers from a private beta that began in April 2026 and is looking to close its seed round in the next six months to scale its platform and expand broker partnerships.
Edward Zaremba, CEO & Founder of HelpOne (Somers): HelpOne Software simplifies the administration of small-to-midsize nonprofits by replacing 5 to 8 disconnected software tools with a single platform managing volunteers, events, fundraising, CRM, HR, board management, finance, and payments, with flat monthly pricing. HelpOne currently has a live product, partnerships with leading nonprofit organizations, and is actively talking with organizations interested in the platform. HelpOne is looking to sign its first 10 paying founding customers in the next 10 weeks.
Ashwin Kalsekar, Founder of Mergely AI (White Plains): Mergely AI delivers institutional-grade M&A representation through an AI-native platform that reinvents the investment bank's delivery and economic model for smaller companies ready to sell. Mergely AI is running on three active mandates with roughly $20M in pipeline. It is looking to bring on a technical co-founder and its first external users in the next six months.
Sara Reid, Founder of Shimmi (Larchmont): Shimmi is a lifestyle platform that helps older adults stay connected through local activities and community. Shimmi is preparing to launch and is looking to partner with employers and cities to make those connections easier to find in the next few months.
Marc Lener, Founder and President of Singula Health (Larchmont): Singula Health's clinical decision support tool gives primary care physicians a psychiatrist's read on each patient before the visit, generated from an adaptive intake the patient completes beforehand. It closes the gap between a mental health screening score and knowing what to do next. Singula Health has completed an IRB-approved pilot, a second clinical site is enrolling, and it has payer reimbursement for the workflow it supports. It is raising $1.5M in pre-seed funding to build its production platform and sign its first paying practices in the next 12 months.
Sam Formanek, Founder of Synapse+ (Hastings-on-Hudson): Synapse+ helps behavioral health clinicians find and refer patients through a platform that unifies the field. Synapse+ has 100 members and aims to grow to 1,000 in the next two months and begin monetizing within six.
