Beam AI has been selected to join the 2026 FinTech Innovation Lab New York, a 12-week accelerator program founded and run by Accenture and the Partnership Fund for New York City. The program connects early- and growth-stage fintechs with top financial services and venture capital executives to accelerate product and business development.
Since 2010, the Lab has worked with entrepreneurs from 130 technology companies. Graduates have created more than 3,000 jobs, raised over $3 billion in venture financing, and 31 have been acquired.
Why Beam AI
Beam was selected as an AI automation platform purpose-built for financial services back-office and outsourced operations. Our platform processes underwriting, claims, and compliance workflows with greater speed, accuracy, and auditability than traditional methods.
Financial institutions run on thousands of manual, document-heavy processes that haven't changed in decades. Beam's AI agents handle these workflows end-to-end, not as copilots that assist humans, but as autonomous workers that execute with full audit trails. That's what caught the Lab's attention.
Over the next 12 weeks, we'll work directly with senior executives from the program's participating banks, insurers, and capital markets firms to sharpen our product for the highest-stakes environments in financial services.
