Eastside Summit 3 - AI Accelerator - July 29, 2026

The Eastside Summit 3 - AI Accelerator event, hosted by Bellevue Television on July 29, 2026, showcased the fifth cohort of the Startup 425 accelerator program, which is funded by multiple Eastside cities including Bellevue. The program supports small business entrepreneurs and founders by providing resources, workshops, and an intensive 8-week AI-focused accelerator. During the event, several startup founders presented live demos of AI-powered products addressing diverse business challenges such as small business strategy, meal planning for children, property management, healthcare operations, political campaign management, and elder care coordination. While the meeting primarily highlighted innovation and entrepreneurship, it did not include specific procurement decisions, contract awards, or budget allocations. However, the presentations included requests for partnerships, early adopters, and investors, indicating potential future procurement or investment opportunities related to AI-driven solutions in the region.
