Description
BRIIA Inc (Bishop Ranch Intelligence Innovation Accelerator), known for The Intelligent Accelerator®, is a Silicon Valley-based integrated data innovation accelerator headquartered in San Ramon, California. It focuses on early-stage startups leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). BRIIA targets early-stage startups at various milestones, primarily ranging from the Idea phase to Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and early scalability.
-
Foundation Program: For startups between Milestone 0 (Idea) and Milestone 2 (MVP).
-
Advanced Programs: For startups that have reached at least Milestone 2 and are ready to focus on customer acquisition, category design, and fundraising.
BRIIA utilizes a "no application, no waiting" model for its initial phase.
-
Intelligent Accelerator Platform: Founders can start immediately by completing a "BRIIA GPS," a framework based on the Traction Map™ to assess company maturity.
-
Customized Planning: Based on the GPS results, the platform develops a step-by-step guided plan for the founder to follow.
-
Rolling Intake: There are no fixed application deadlines for the Foundation Program; founders can start at any time.
-
Cohort Cycles: Advanced Programs typically run twice a year. While 2026 specific start dates are set by the cohort schedule, the Foundation track remains open for continuous 2026 entry.
-
Foundation Program: 0% equity extraction. Founders pay a nominal fee for courses and mentor time (estimated at ~$1,300 for a start-to-MVP journey).
-
Advanced Program: Upon acceptance into an Advanced track, BRIIA typically asks to reserve shares at the same terms as the startup's first significant round of capital.
