Learn about Mass Challenge – a US based start-up accelerator

January 19, 2021

Enabling efficient scale and growth are key strategic objectives for Optalitix and as such we were delighted to secure a place on the 2021 Masschallenge Fintech. Launched in 2018, Masschallenge accelerates outcome-driven partnerships between startups and enterprises. Optalitix’s inclusion will help participants drive their innovation-led approach to growth.This exciting opportunity will expose Optalitix to the U.S. market and in so doing enable us to test our products and services in a different environment with new use cases and a different set of regulatory conditions.Applications from over 330 companies from across the globe were received by Mass Challenge with only 30 companies eventually joining the 2021 cohort. Enterprise readiness and Optalitix’s potential to work with larger organisations like John Hancock, Mass Mutual and Putnam Investments will prove valuable as we plan the next stage of Optalitix’s development.

Jonathan Shapiro one the Optalitix founders commented “We were confident that Optalitix was enterprise ready and that as a company we had the right team strength, market fit and customer traction. Our inclusion into Masschallenge 2021 validates our belief.”
