Nichefire has been selected for Engage Cohort 14, a corporate venture accelerator backed by leading Fortune 500 brands. The program provides funding, executive mentorship, and direct introductions to partner companies, positioning Nichefire to expand its predictive cultural-intelligence platform worldwide.
Founded when a client needed clearer insight than traditional social listening could deliver, Nichefire now ingests billions of social, search, and news signals, layering in its proprietary trend-pattern data to reveal where consumer demand is heading. The platform has already helped companies spot breakthrough opportunities in areas such as GLP-1 nutrition trends for Nestlé, next-generation flavor profiles, and early movements in cryptocurrency.
“Our mission is to give brands a crystal-ball view of cultural shifts, and Engage will help us bring that foresight to even more insights, product, and marketing teams,” said Michael Howard, Nichefire CEO.
With proven wins across CPG, financial services, and healthcare, Nichefire will use the accelerator’s resources to hire additional data-science talent, enhance its forecasting models, and deepen enterprise partnerships.
