Mosaic Accelerator Welcomes Akin – an Indigenous-Built, Women-Led AI Guide – to Walk Beside Its Fall Founders

VANCOUVER, BC – Mosaic Accelerator today announced a partnership with reGEN Impact Media to bring Akin – a walk-beside alignment guide built on Indigenous values and matriarchal-led AI – to the founders in its Fall 2026 cohort. Akin will support founders as whole people, not just operators, helping them stay grounded, aligned, and resilient through the shifting demands and ever-accelerating priorities of building a company.

The partnership shows how change travels at Mosaic: a ripple that starts with one founder and expands to transform whole communities. reGEN Impact Media is a Mosaic alumna: a 100% Indigenous-owned, woman-founded-and-led Canadian venture now creating technology that will, in turn, serve the next generation of Mosaic founders. Since 2023, Mosaic has generated an estimated $15+ in value for every $1 invested – and this is that model turned full circle.

Akin is designed as accompaniment rather than instruction. Built independently in Canada and grounded in Indigenous values, matriarchal wisdom, and generational responsibility, Akin helps entrepreneurs check in with their focus, energy, and attention, reflect honestly, and realign with what matters most – across their whole lives, not only their businesses. Its approach mirrors Mosaic’s belief that founder readiness is built on more than strategy; it is built on wholeness, ancestral wisdom, and community.

“At Mosaic, we build four forms of capital – financial, social, intellectual, and cultural – because founders thrive as whole people, not just operators. Akin reflects everything we stand for: it’s Indigenous-built, women-led, and rooted in ancestral wisdom. Welcoming a Mosaic alumna’s technology back to serve our founders is Mosaic coming full circle.” – Rochelle Grayson, Mosaic Accelerator

“Akin was built to model a different premise for AI as purposeful technology in service of the people it walks beside by strengthening who they already are, rather than extracting from them. Bringing her home to serve Mosaic’s founders shows what becomes possible when Indigenous-built, matriarchal-led AI meets founders where they’re at to help them protect and prioritize what matters most – building belief, expanding relationships, and doing brave, meaningful work. Mosaic’s values are our values, and we’re honoured to walk alongside this cohort.” – Charlene SanJenko, reGEN Impact Media

The partnership builds on an established relationship between the two leaders, who have collaborated on advancing AI in service of equity, including co-facilitating on AI and feminist movements at Women Deliver 2026 in Melbourne.

Since launching in 2023, Mosaic Accelerator has delivered outsized returns on inclusion: founders report 65% average revenue growth in their first year, and the accelerator has mobilized $750K+ in private capital toward undervalued and underrepresented women, transgender, and non-binary founders building tech-enabled businesses – supporting 75+ founders across 850+ learning hours to date. Mosaic’s work aligns with nine UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Mosaic’s Fall 2026 cohort, which began on October 16, is among the first to work with Akin in a structured program setting. Five founders began together, in a founder circle kept intentionally small to protect depth of relationship and support. Applications for Spring 2027 are open now at mosaicaccelerator.com/apply.
