RightShift Pulse | ED 17
In this edition of RightShift Pulse, we’re celebrating early wins from Cohort Zero, diving into what’s next for our accelerator, and sharing hand-picked tools and ideas to help you move faster.
🚀 Ecosystem in Motion: Q2 Highlights
This past quarter marked major milestones across the RightShift ecosystem. From graduating our first cohort of accelerator founders to expanding our enterprise AI footprint, our team has been heads down, helping ideas grow faster and smarter.
RightShift Accelerator wrapped Cohort Zero and launched Cohort One with 10 promising companies. Applications for Cohort Two are officially open.
At Intuitio Labs, we expanded a cutting-edge computer vision initiative and onboarded a new enterprise customer for AI & ML development. We also deployed two new internal toolchains to better support accelerator teams.
RightShift Ventures has made two new early-stage investments and continues to grow its VC partner network, creating more opportunities for founders to build, test, and launch.
This is what it looks like to build with intention and momentum.
🌱 Founder Journey: From Cohort Zero to What’s Next
We’re still reflecting on what it means to graduate our first official accelerator cohort this spring. These are founders who jumped in early, trusted the process, and used our platform to validate, build, and test their early product in just 8 weeks.
Now, with Cohort One officially underway, we’re expanding the playbook — helping 10 new startups build smarter with AI, iterate quickly, and stay founder-led. And the journey doesn’t stop there: applications for Cohort Two are now open. If you're a founder looking for speed, support, and zero equity taken, we want to hear from you.

🔧 Trending Tools: Motion AI
This month’s tool pick is Motion — an AI-powered productivity assistant that’s perfect for founder-led teams trying to do more with less.
Motion combines scheduling, to-do lists, meeting management, and task prioritization into one clean interface. It’s smart planner adapts in real time, automatically rescheduling based on what’s most urgent, making it easier to protect focus time and stay on top of deadlines.
Founders juggling deep work, back-to-back meetings, and product launches will find it especially useful. It’s like having an operations manager, calendar assistant, and product board in one.
🧠 Worth trying if your days feel like a sprint with no pit stops.
