NEW ROCHELLE, NY (October 7, 2025) — Westchester County’s Element 46 Tech Accelerator, powered by Quay Acceleration, welcomed 11 innovative startups into its fall 2025 cohort, including New Rochelle-based CelerOps LLC. The program will culminate in a Demo Day on December 2, offering participants a platform to pitch to investors, technology experts, and government officials.
CelerOps LLC, based in New Rochelle, tackles inefficiencies in accounting and insurance teams with its Intelligent Document Processing platform. The technology streamlines manual, document-heavy workflows by providing custom automations and reports, reducing errors and enhancing productivity.
“Each year, the startups chosen for the Element 46 program strengthen our County’s reputation as a place where innovation is nurtured, businesses are supported, and ideas can flourish,” said Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins. “We look forward to seeing these ventures grow, succeed, and contribute to the economic vitality of our community.”
The fall cohort features startups from across Westchester, spanning artificial intelligence, education technology, and energy. Other ventures include AirlineComplaintHub.com (Dobbs Ferry), simplifying airline complaint submissions; Author Central Station (Mount Vernon), aiding self-published authors with in-person book sales; and Senergy (Yonkers), providing real-time energy and water monitoring software.
“Each year, Element 46 showcases the incredible entrepreneurial talent drawn to Westchester County,” said Bridget Gibbons, Westchester County Director of Economic Development. “By welcoming this fall’s cohort, we continue to build momentum, creating opportunities that drive innovation, support job growth, and strengthen our local economy.”
Selected through a competitive process, Element 46 accepts up to 12 tech startups with committed founders and at least a prototype. Participants gain mentorship from leaders in technology, finance, and marketing, plus access to a curriculum covering fundraising, customer development, and branding.
“We are excited to welcome this fall’s cohort of founders to the Element 46 program, representing innovation in edtech, climate tech, AI, and more,” said Deborah Novick, Westchester County Director of Entrepreneurship and Innovation. “These ventures will not only benefit from the resources and mentorship available here but will also bring new energy and vision to our community.”
John Lynn, co-founder of Quay Acceleration, highlighted the cohort’s promise. “This fall’s 11 startups are building in areas such as AI, education, workforce development, energy, and consumer engagement,” Lynn said. “Many already have pilots underway, paying customers, or funding secured. They represent the kind of innovation and growth potential that make the region a hub for technology and business.”
The 10-week program, now in its sixth cohort with Quay Acceleration, supports startups like CelerOps in scaling their ventures. For more information, visit the Element 46 website.
