In September 2026 I used X (formerly Twitter) to announce the 12th Surge cohort and share related highlights, including sector coverage, core theme, a market‑valuation comparison, and a demo of the Alma AI trading tool.
The cohort announced 18 companies joining Surge’s 12th cohort.
Sector coverage spans AI, deeptech, consumer, fintech, healthcare, music, robotics, space.
The core theme is “question the default”.
Just three private companies, SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI, now being valued at more than the combined first‑day value of 3,365 U.S. tech IPOs over 45 years.
Alma completed a full NIFTY50 options trade—from chart reading to profit—in under 60 seconds.
