Ama AI joins a cohort of eight companies building practical, high-impact technology for the autism community
Ames, Iowa — [May 11, 2026] — Ama AI is excited to announce that it has been selected as one of eight innovative companies joining Multiple’s Spring 2026 Autism Tech Accelerator.
Multiple is an innovation platform supporting founders building impactful solutions for the autism community. Through its accelerator, Multiple brings together entrepreneurs, mentors, funders, experts, and advocates working across care coordination, communication, learning, clinical workflows, family support, and other areas of autism technology.
For Ama, participation in the cohort represents an important opportunity to build alongside a community deeply aligned with its mission: helping families, clinicians, and educators turn care plans into real-world support.
“At Ama, we believe some of the most important progress happens outside the formal session: at home, at school, during daily routines, and in the moments when families and support teams need guidance the most,” said Dr. Karri Haen Whitmer, Co-Founder and CEO at Ama. “That’s the gap we’re building for. We’re honored to join Multiple’s Batch 6 cohort and continue developing assistive technology that connects families, clinicians, and educators around each child’s everyday progress.”
Ama is building assistive technology designed to help care plans move beyond the clinic and into the real-life environments where children learn, practice, and grow. By supporting between-session practice, in-the-moment guidance, and better visibility across care teams, Ama helps progress continue beyond formal therapy or educational support settings.
As part of the accelerator, Ama AI will participate in programming designed to support autism-focused startups through mentorship, expert feedback, strategic guidance, and community connection.
Ama AI will also participate in Multiple’s Demo Day on June 3 from 11 AM to 1 PM Central Time, where cohort companies will present their work live.
