Exponential Impact (XI) marked the culmination of the 12-week XI Accelerator Program on May 28 with the Spring 2026 Demo Day held at Exponential Impact’s Downtown Office at Weidner Field in Downtown Colorado Springs.
The XI Accelerator is an intensive mentoring and business development program. The final event is Demo Day, where the cohort’s participants pitch their business to founders, investors, elected officials, community leaders and supporters from across Colorado.
An expert panel of founders and industry leaders engaged each presenting founder with real-time feedback and questions. This year’s panel included Christie Frieg, founder, president and CEO of Alethia Software, and Dennis Roark, president of Terra Ferma.
This cohort’s founders addressed challenges across AI, childcare, education and more. Each has spent the last three months refining their business models, validating products and preparing to scale, and many are now actively seeking investors, customers, pilot sites and strategic partnerships.
