Leaf has been selected as one of 10 promising software startups participating in the inaugural Trailblazer Software Accelerator cohort.

The JumpStart Trailblazer accelerator launched in March 2024 and offers targeted support and critical resources to fuel innovation and prepare startups for venture capital investment. The program focuses on development of a minimum viable product (MVP) in preparation for raising venture capital.

Qualifying startups receive up to $125K in expert services to get ready to raise capital. JumpStart covers 100% of the first $50K of eligible expenses and 35% of the next $215K of eligible expenses. Unlike traditional accelerators, Trailblazer takes no equity—instead investing directly in founders through a combination of funding, services, and expert support.

We're developing AI-optimized design automation tools for engineering next-generation power infrastructure like data centers, solar, EV charging stations, and battery storage. Professionals can use our software to automate their most laborious engineering tasks from within popular CAD platforms like AutoCAD.
