Capital can open a door. The right partnership can help founders move through it.
For more than five years, Northwestern Mutual and gener8tor have worked together to support early-stage companies as they grow. Founders gain access to capital while building relationships with experienced executives who can help them navigate what comes next.
Lauren Usher sat down with Moiz Dawoodbhai to talk about how that approach has evolved over the years. They discuss how founders can prepare for corporate opportunities and how connecting with the right people can help them navigate decisions as their companies grow.
Moiz also shares his perspective for founders navigating a challenging market: technology may be part of the solution, but a clear value proposition is what helps a company stand apart.

Before you write the perfect prompt, thereโs a more important question: Are you solving the right problem? ๐ก
Robert Orozco returns to our AI for Leaders Lunch & Learn series this week for a second conversation, this time shifting from how organizations govern AI to how they identify where AI can actually create value. His second session: โ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ๐บ ๐๐ฒ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐: ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ ๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐โ
Thereโs no shortage of AI tools. And thereโs definitely no shortage of prompts. But successful AI adoption doesnโt start with either one. It starts with understanding the work. This is the difference between using AI because itโs available and implementing AI because it solves something that matters.
As our participants develop their own real-world AI use cases, this conversation comes at exactly the right moment: helping leaders work backward from the business problem instead of forward from the newest technology.
Want to learn how to identify, develop, and implement meaningful AI opportunities inside your organization?

Congratulations to the Prosper HealthTech Accelerator powered by gener8tor founders on an incredible Showcase!
After 12 weeks of building, learning and growing, five founders took the stage to share the healthcare solutions theyโre bringing forward for Birmingham, Alabama and beyond.
The Showcase was a chance to celebrate their progress and the dedication they brought to the program from day one. Building a company is never easy, but this cohort showed up with energy, openness and a commitment to making meaningful progress.
โจ Meet the cohort:
KลM Analytics โ Founded by Tammy Torkleson.
Lanyard Health โ Founded by Kentesha Kay.
Ajiint Care, Inc. โ Founded by Shun Dorsey.
Mamidi Health โ Founded by Tarun Mamidi.
Medvient โ Founded by Nicole Oliver.
A huge thank you to our partners at Innovate Alabama, Prosper, Redhawk Wealth Advisors, Inc, Alabama Power, BlueCross BlueShield of Alabama, UAB - The University of Alabama at Birmingham, Bank of America, Encompass Health, Regions Bank, Orlando Health, First Horizon Bank, Jemison Investment Company, Timberline Holdings and Altec-Styslinger Foundation for helping make this program possible.
Sometimes moving forward isnโt about starting over, itโs about learning how to translate the experience you already have.
In this episode of our gener8tor Skills Impact Series, Anne Nadel sat down with Vivian Hulugh, Project & Program Management professional with 7+ years of experience across conservation, climate and energy, and education.
As Vivian entered the U.S. job market, she completed the Project Management Skills Accelerator to formalize her experience and better communicate the skills she had already built throughout her career.
A few highlights from the conversation:
๐ Practical training helped her connect project management frameworks to work she had already been doing for years
๐ She strengthened her resume, cover letters and interview language to better reflect her experience
๐ Lightning Rounds gave her direct recruiter feedback and insight into what employers look for
๐ She now treats her job search like a project, tracking applications, follow-ups and opportunities
๐ Sheโs seeing more callbacks and progressing into later-stage interviews
Vivianโs message: โIf youโre sitting on years of experience thatโs hard to explain, donโt count yourself out.โ
