Founded in 2018, Uptime Analytics is headquartered in Bogota and serves multiple sectors, including water utilities and industries related to steel, oil, and cement. Their mission focuses on enhancing operational reliability and minimizing environmental impact through advanced technology solutions.

Accelerator Program Details
As a pivotal component of the program, the managing director of the Cox Cleantech Accelerator, Miguel Granier, emphasized Atlanta’s growing role as a national hub for sustainable innovation. The city is home to nearly 300 global and regional headquarters and has seen a surge in cleantech manufacturing investments, creating a conducive environment for startups like Uptime Analytics.
The selection process for this cohort was highly competitive, with the pool narrowing down from over 150 applications to identify the top 15 finalists. These finalists were then interviewed and invited to Atlanta for in-person evaluations. The goal of the accelerator program is to significantly impact the trajectory of the selected startups by providing access to essential resources, experienced partners, and the vibrant Atlanta entrepreneur ecosystem.
