Peak XV selects 14 startups for 10th cohort of Surge

Peak XV Partners’ rapid scale-up program Surge has launched its tenth cohort of early-stage startups featuring 14 startups.

Earlier in October 2023, Surge launched its ninth cohort of early-stage startups, featuring 32 founders from 13 startups. The program has now grown to include over 350 founders, more than 150 startups, and spans 17 sectors across 10 cohorts.

Surge 10 companies include Amaani, Ambak, Auquan, Brainfish, Clout Kitchen, Dezy, Dubbing Ai, OrbitShift, Parseable, SalarySe, Tailcall, The Health Factory, Wobot and a stealth company in the specialty healthcare space. Amaani is the first company from the Middle East to be in Surge.

According to Surge, founders participating in Surge will receive up to $3 million in seed funding per startup, along with comprehensive support and a dedicated partnership from both the Surge investment team and operating team. This includes assistance with hiring, product development, technology, and marketing.

The program offers a wealth of resources and tools, including perks worth over $2 million, cloud storage, marketing tools, software, services, and more.

Each participating company will also receive one-on-one mentorship from global founders and operators, making Surge a launchpad for startups looking to dominate their home markets and, in many cases, build global businesses. 

The Surge 10 program will run from October 2024 to February 2025, featuring a mix of in-person and online sessions and events focused on founder development, go-to-market strategies, product, sales refinement, brand building and more.
