Asele joins the Corti Startup Accelerator

We have some news. Asele has been accepted into the Corti for Startups programme, and we are building on their platform starting now.

What is Corti?

Corti builds healthcare-native AI infrastructure. Their foundation model, Symphony, is not a general-purpose model fine-tuned on medical data. It was built from scratch on real patient interactions and is validated in clinical production. It currently powers over 100 million patient interactions per year across healthcare systems globally.

Their platform covers text generation, speech to text, a medical coding API, and an agentic framework. The Corti for Startups programme is built specifically for early-stage health companies tackling hard problems in healthcare.

Accepted startups receive up to $5,000 in API credits usable across the full platform, dedicated scoping sessions with Corti's AI experts, access to founder-led webinars and product roadmap sessions, and invitations to Corti events in New York, Copenhagen, London, and Berlin. No equity is taken. No revenue share.

Why Corti for Asele

Asele tracks cycle health data for women of African descent. A core part of what we are building is translating that data into something clinically useful, the kind of structured, grounded output that holds up in a medical conversation.

General-purpose AI models tend to produce outputs that are either too vague to be useful in a clinical setting or too clinical to be appropriate for a consumer product. Corti sits in the middle: healthcare-native, validated, and built for exactly this kind of work.

African women are disproportionately affected by conditions including fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, and high blood pressure, and are consistently underrepresented in the health tech products designed to help them track and communicate their symptoms.

Asele exists to close that gap. Having access to AI infrastructure that is built for clinical use is a meaningful step in that direction.

What comes next

We are working through the 12-month programme with a clear roadmap.

Credits are active. Work has started.
