Peak XV Partners has introduced its tenth Surge cohort, featuring startups from eight countries.

The new cohort includes ventures in areas like AI, fintech, consumer goods, and healthcare from India, the UK, the US, Singapore, China, UAE, Australia, and the Philippines.

The Surge 10 cohort consists of 14 startups, including Amaani, Ambak, Auquan, and Brainfish. Amaani represents the program’s first participant from the Middle East.

A focus on artificial intelligence is prevalent among the participants.

Each participating startup will receive up to $3 million in seed funding. Alongside this, Peak XV offers mentorship and resources.

The program will run from October 2024 to February 2025 and will feature a US-based immersion experience. This will connect founders with Silicon Valley’s ecosystem.

Formerly known as Sequoia Capital India & SEA, Peak XV Partners supports startups through Surge, its platform aimed at fostering growth and scalability.

The participating cohort will engage in sessions designed for founder development and market strategy.
