Programs & grants
The programs we’re part of.
A Story is a member of the NVIDIA Inception program, the AssemblyAI Startup Program, and a Cartesia Startups grant recipient.
The NVIDIA Inception program is designed to help startups accelerate innovation and growth. Members get access to the latest developer resources and training, exclusive pricing on NVIDIA hardware and software, and exposure to the venture capital community.
What that buys a family is narrower than it sounds, and more useful. A call is only worth keeping if the thing on the other end can really hear - a name said once, an accent, a sentence that trails off and starts again somewhere else. Membership puts the tools that do that listening in our hands earlier than we could otherwise reach them.
