An AI company that leverages data to provide personalized, science-based health analytics is the winner of PepsiCo's fifth annual Greenhouse Accelerator program.
New York City-based LifeNome, this year's winner, was chosen based on its mission to create personalized solutions for consumers, overall engagement in the program and launch of 9Moons. The latter is LifeNome's AI-powered tool that provides OB-GYN and nutritionist-backed advice on pregnancy nutrition from pre-conception through post-delivery.
PepsiCo's selection committee chose 10 finalists for this year's program. Each was awarded a $20,000 grant at the start of the program, and LifeNome took home an additional $100,000.
PepsiCo said the 10 participants in this year's six-month, mentor-guided experience are all changemakers working on breakthrough innovations.
"PepsiCo continues to gain incredible value from our work with startups as we focus on AI, data and new technologies to become even more consumer-centric," said Daniel Grubbs, managing director of PepsiCo Ventures Group.
