Ozeki Joins Techstars NYC

Kenneth R. Carter and Ivan Assenov

September 27, 2024

Ozeki is proud to announce that we have joined the Techstars NYC Fall 2024 cohort.

When we started this blog a few weeks ago, we made a very deliberate decision not to brag about our company or our product.  Instead, we have aimed to provide our community with interesting, practical insights from what we have learned in building Ozeki (and perhaps the occasional joke). Unfortunately, we have to bend that rule today with a humble brag to share some of our experiences from our participation in the Techstars NYC Fall 2024 Cohort. Today marks the conclusion of the third week of the program.  These weeks went by in a blur of meetings, workshops, mentoring, practice, and learning.  Ozeki was selected out of more than 2,000 applicants to be 1 of the 11 companies to participate. We continue to be inspired by the vision, talent, and intellect of the other founders.  We have received incredible input from the accomplished and passionate mentors with whom we have met.

There is much for us to learn and do as we prepare Ozeki for the next stage in its growth. We know that AI technology is changing so quickly, the only way for Ozeki to compete is for us to learn faster than anyone else. One of our advantages in this undertaking is that we are the kind of people who are motivated by curiosity, passion, and the intellectual thrill of discovery and invention.  We seek to find joy and satisfaction in solving valuable problems for our customers, then we can hope to develop the best products for Ozeki’s customers. This is hopefully the first of many inflection points as we develop the technologies to make it easy for your lawyer to make negotiations easy for you.

This is just the beginning.  

If you are interested in learning more about what we are building, we’d love to hear from you.  Okay, we now return to writing about the interesting things we are learning about in building our company...
