Global venture firm gener8tor, in partnership with Birmingham-based Bronze Valley, recently announced the Fall 2025 cohort of the Bronze Valley Investment Accelerator. Five startups, selected for their high growth potential from among more than 450 applicants, have begun the accelerator’s 12-week program to support the next stage of their development.

Now in its fifth year, the Bronze Valley/gener8tor partnership has backed dozens of founders seeking to bring bold ideas to market. Each participating company receives a nondilutive investment of $100,000, along with access to mentorship-based programming and access to a national network of prospective investors.

The entrepreneurs in the Fall 2025 accelerator cohort are tackling some of today’s biggest challenges with breakthrough ideas, according to Neill S. Wright, president and CEO of Bronze Valley.

“The startups in this cohort exemplify unique AI-powered technology, with innovative uses across athletics, data, higher education, medicine, and mobility infrastructure,” said Wright. “Our program has become increasingly competitive, and these founders have captured our attention with their vision, creativity, and potential to make outsized impact.”

The startups selected for the Fall 2025 Bronze Valley Investment Accelerator are:

Moonbase AI. Universities and government agencies manage billions in research funding, and yet critical data often remains locked in unstructured documents, creating inefficiencies that lead to missed opportunities. Moonbase AI ingests entire research portfolios and transforms them into a queryable data base, empowering instant answers, compliance tracking, and proactive discovery of funding and collaboration opportunities.

Tag! Fundraising. An AI-powered platform that revolutionizes youth sports fundraising by replacing product sales and high-fee platforms, instead connecting teams with local businesses and community donors to create lasting support. Coaches secure sustainable funding relationships while businesses gain direct, high-visibility community engagement.

Neural Wave. Automates clinical workflows to help doctors reclaim time and joy in practicing medicine. Typically, providers spend two to three hours per day reviewing lab results and documents and coding tasks — a burden eliminated by Neural Wave, helping save considerable time, boost revenue, and reduce burnout.

Cache. An intelligence platform for athlete valuation, standardizing commercial worth with AI-driven scores that integrate performance, social influence, and market dynamics. The platform equips athletes, schools, and brands with tools and brand-fit metrics that enable transparent, bias-resistant decision-making regarding name, image, and likeness (NIL) compensation and other aspects of athletic career management.

DeepCharge. Powers enterprise device uptime through an integrated AI platform and smart-charging ecosystem. The Operational DNA platform flags at-risk devices hours before failure, turning reactive scrambles into proactive maintenance. Paired with other DC products for fleet-scale charging and robotics-ready mobile charging, it optimizes warehouse and logistics operations.

“The most exciting part of this work is partnering with founders who are building ambitious companies from the ground up,” said Sierra Peña, managing director of the Bronze Valley Investment Accelerator. “These five startups already are showing impressive traction.”

The Fall 2025 accelerator will culminate at Alabama Founder Fest on December 8 and 9. There, the founders will pitch to venture capital firms, angel investors, corporate partners, and others associated with the broader startup ecosystem in the state.

Bronze Valley is an early-stage venture capital fund that supports high growth, technology- and innovation-centric startup companies. Its mission is to empower bold entrepreneurs by providing holistic venture capital solutions that catalyze innovation and impact. The Bronze Valley Investment Accelerator is made possible through the support of Innovate Alabama, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama, Alabama Power, Regions Bank, Pinnacle, the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham, Valley Bank, and South State Bank.

gener8tor is a global venture firm and accelerator network that supports startups, workers, employers, artists, and musicians. gener8tor partners with companies, governments, universities, and nonprofits to operate accelerator programs and conferences in more than 45 communities across 25 U.S. states and three countries.

Birmingham Food Drive to Help Those in Need Kicks off Monday, Nov. 3. Here’s How You Can Help

Compiled by The Birmingham Times

Beginning today, Monday, Nov. 3, the City of Birmingham will join Christian Service Mission (CSM) in collecting food for Birmingham food banks in the city. The food collection days will be Monday, Nov. 3 through Thursday, Nov. 6 from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. CSM is located at 3600 Third Ave. South.

The food drive is part of Mayor Randall L. Woodfin’s efforts to help Birmingham SNAP recipients experiencing a temporary disruption of benefits due to the federal government shutdown. The mayor also plans to ask the Birmingham City Council to commit $1 million from the city to provide support for Birmingham households losing November SNAP benefits.

Nearly 23,000 Birmingham households — one in four — rely on SNAP to keep food on the table, Woodfin has said. With the federal government shutdown ongoing, benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program have been in limbo even though two federal judges ruled Friday the Trump administration cannot suspend food aid used by about 42 million low-income Americans during the shutdown.

The rulings said the government must pay for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, also known as food stamps, using emergency funds.

The following items are needed during this week’s food drive in Birmingham: canned vegetables; canned meats; canned fruit; box cereals; soups; nutritional bars; oatmeal; box food (macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, stuffing, rice, etc.); toilet paper; paper towels. Please DO NOT drop off clothing, shoes, accessories, or food in glass containers.

More details will be provided soon on how Birmingham residents receiving SNAP benefits may apply for assistance. The city has created www.birminghamal.gov/bhamready with details on how to donate or volunteer, where to find food giveaways, and community resources for those in need. Questions should be sent to bhamready@birminghamal.gov.

Other donation sites accepting food from Nov. 3 – 6 include:

Levite Jewish Community Center
3960 Montclair Road
Birmingham, AL 35213
Time: 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

The Friends Foundation of the Birmingham Public Library (BPL) has received a $5,300 grant from the Alabama State Council on the Arts (ASCA) to help fund BPL’s popular Bards & Brews spoken word poetry series.

The grant will support BPL’s mission to provide free, high-quality arts programming that celebrates Birmingham’s vibrant spoken word community while showcasing the city’s growing craft beer scene. Bards & Brews brings together both seasoned poets and first-time performers, uniting diverse audiences in a shared celebration of creativity and culture.

This funding will allow BPL to continue offering Bards & Brews events free to the public and strengthen the library’s role as a hub for the arts across metro Birmingham, said Chelsea Rodriguez, Outreach Librarian and program coordinator for Bards & Brews.

“We are so grateful to the Alabama State Council on the Arts for their support,” Rodriguez said. “Through Bards and Brews, we aim to spark more community-driven art, reach a broader audience, and reimagine what library space can be. Their continued support allows us to  achieve this mission and support artists in Birmingham.”

The 2025–26 grant period from the Alabama State Council on the Arts will fund Bards & Brews events from October 2025 through September 2026.

Now in its 15th year, Bards & Brews has become one of BPL’s signature cultural programs, attracting poets and audiences from across Alabama. Events have been held at multiple BPL branches, county libraries, and arts venues including Vulcan Park & Museum (Friday, October 3), TrimTab Brewing Company, East Village Arts of Birmingham and the Woodlawn Theatre.

The Alabama State Council on the Arts provides funding through an annual appropriation from the Alabama State Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts. This public support allows programs like Bards & Brews to engage new audiences, foster community connections, and demonstrate how the arts enrich Alabama’s quality of life.

The City of Birmingham Invests $1.5 Million in Community Programs to Combat Opioid Crisis

The City of Birmingham is taking bold action to combat the growing opioid epidemic by investing $1.5 million in local programs designed to prevent addiction, save lives, and support recovery. Funded through national opioid settlement dollars, these initiatives will expand access to treatment, prevention, and harm reduction across the city.

“These investments reflect our deep commitment to healing and restoring our community,” said Mayor Randall L. Woodfin. “The opioid crisis has touched nearly every neighborhood in Birmingham. By partnering with trusted organizations already doing the work, we’re ensuring that resources reach those most in need — from youth in our schools to individuals living on our streets.”

The funding will support a diverse set of evidence-based initiatives, including prevention, reentry, recovery, and outreach:

  • Alabama Appleseed ($100,000) The organization will offer comprehensive reentry services and case management for individuals returning to Birmingham from the Alabama Department of Corrections, connecting them with housing, employment, and treatment resources in a coordinated system of care.
  • The Lovelady Center ($200,000) Funds will help offset costs for client representatives who work directly with women affected by substance use disorder, providing personalized support and helping them transition toward recovery and stability.
  • Cahaba Medical Care ($300,000) The healthcare provider will expand access to medical, behavioral health, and substance use disorder treatment for unhoused individuals and at-risk adolescents in Districts 2, 3, 4, and 5. The project will deploy a mobile health unit and street medicine team to deliver care, harm reduction, and wraparound services.
  • Firehouse Ministries ($100,000) Firehouse will develop a comprehensive, trauma-informed program to reduce opioid-related overdoses, deaths, and harm among individuals experiencing homelessness in Birmingham.
  • Auburn University (Alabama Cooperative Extension System) ($200,000) Through its 4-H Health Rocks! Curriculum, Auburn University will launch a peer-led substance abuse prevention initiative across Birmingham City Schools. Designed for middle and high school students, the program will empower student leaders to educate and encourage their peers to make healthy, substance-free choices.

“Every dollar we spend must move us closer to saving lives and restoring hope,” said Alanah Melton, Director of Special Projects for the Mayor’s Office. “These partnerships represent Birmingham’s commitment to using settlement funds with purpose, compassion, and accountability.”

These projects are part of the City’s Opioid Abatement Program, which ensures that settlement funds are invested in strategies that address prevention, treatment, and recovery at the community level.

Other funded programs include $320,000 to provide full-time, licensed UAB social workers for Birmingham Public Libraries, covering the $451,329 cost for Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for area libraries and police vehicles, and $55,963 for Narcan for Birmingham Fire and Rescue Services. So far, the city has received $3.2 million in settlement funds, and this amount could increase based on additional settlements, which could provide funding for additional programs.

At Least 18 People Displaced Following Massive Southside Fire in Birmingham

From Wire Reports

Crews battled to put out a fire out Friday in the Five Points South neighborhood.

The wood frame building, which had originally been a house, became fully engulfed in intense flames and the roof collapsed.

According to AL.com, the fire began early Friday morning near Cobb Lane, a historic cobblestone street in Five Points South. The fire started at a commercial building and spread to two small apartment buildings, both of which were evacuated.

Birmingham Fire and Rescue said the fire spread to a brick apartment and condominium buildings on either side. A total of three buildings have been involved.

Within a couple of hours, one of the brick buildings where the fire had spread went back up in flames and became fully engulfed. Later flames spread in the other brick building.

There were no reports of any injuries. At least 18 people have been displaced.

The affected buildings include 1314 20th St S, a retail building formerly home to Magic City Mercantile, and the Cobb Lane Corners apartment building at 1300 Cobb Lane.

Response from Birmingham

Council leadership and Councilor Crystal Smitherman, who represents the district, released a joint statement Friday morning.

Crystal Smitherman

“Like many others, we saw the massive plume of smoke early this morning coming from Southside. First, we’d like to thank the Birmingham Fire Department for their quick action and efforts to prevent the spread of this fire that engulfed several structures on historic Cobb Lane, some of which are still actively burning.

“As of this moment, we do not believe anyone was injured in this fire and that is a blessing and a testament to our first responders.

“Our city’s emergency services exemplify the best of public service, and we owe them a great debt of thanks. Our offices will continue to work closely with city officials and the affected residents to assess the damage, support recovery efforts and explore every possible avenue to restore one of our iconic cobblestone streets.”

HBCU Football Roundup: Miles College Takes 3-Game Win Streak on the Road

By Donald Hunt | For The Birmingham Times

Miles College has been playing some good football over the last three weeks. The Golden Bears have won three consecutive games – Lane College, Clark Atlanta and Central State respectively. This week, Miles (3-6, 3-3) takes its winning ways on the road against Fort Valley State (3-5, 3-3) on Saturday, Nov. 1. The kickoff is set for 5 p.m.

The Golden Bears look to move the ball through the air with Quarterback Brinley Vandiver targeting wide receiver Marquez Mobley who was able to make some great receptions in the team’s 28-24 victory over Central State last week. Mobley had five catches for 136 yards and could play a key role in this Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference matchup.

In other SIAC action, Tuskegee University (2-6, 1-5) will entertain Lane College (0-8, 0-6) on Saturday. The kickoff will be at 2 p.m. The Golden Tigers will depend on linebacker Kaquan Kimber for defensive prowess. Kimber has 56 total and 31 solo tackles along with two sacks and has been one of Tuskegee University’s top players on defense.

In the Southwestern Athletic Conference, Alabama State (5-2, 3-1) will visit Prairie View A&M (6-2, 4-0) on Saturday, Nov. 1. The kickoff will be at 2 p.m.

This is one of the biggest conference games of the week.  ASU is coming off an impressive 56-13 victory over it long time rival Alabama A&M in the Magic City Classic last week. Hornets quarterback Andrew Body has played very well in the big games this season. In the win over the Bulldogs, he completed 19-of-24 passes for 304 yards and five touchdowns. He also had seven carries for 66 yards and one TD.

Elsewhere in the SWAC, Alabama A&M (4-4, 1-3) will travel to Grambling State ((5-3, 2-2) on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 2 p.m. Grambling State posted a huge upset over Jackson State who has one of the best HBCU football   teams in the country. The Bulldogs should be ready for a tough contest with Tigers.

Mayor Woodfin: Birmingham Has ‘Moral Obligation’ to Assist Those Who Lose SNAP Benefits

By Sym Posey | The Birmingham Times

As part of an extensive plan to assist elders, children, and families, Birmingham Mayor Randall L. Woodfin on Thursday asked the City Council to commit $1 million to provide support for households at risk of losing November SNAP benefits due to the federal government shutdown.

Woodfin spoke during a City Hall press conference flanked by City Councilors including President Wardine Alexander; Drew Langloh, President of the United Way of Central Alabama; faith leaders; non-profit executives and others.

“We are taking immediate action because we have a moral obligation to take care of the general welfare of our residents,” Woodfin said. “Our focus is on getting help directly to the people who need it most — whatever it takes to keep folks fed and families whole.”

Nearly 23,000 Birmingham households — one in four — rely on SNAP to keep food on the table, Woodfin said. “On Nov. 1, those families could wake up with nothing because Washington shut the government down.”

Unless the federal government shutdown is ended, benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will end. It’s the nation’s largest anti-hunger program, serving nearly 42 million people nationwide.

The mayor’s encompassing three-part plan to help families that could lose benefits include:

  • Seeking to secure funding to replace at least a portion of the lost benefits for Birmingham households affected by the shutdown. On Tuesday, Mayor Woodfin will ask the council to commit $1 million to provide supplemental nutrition assistance for the month of November.
  • Launching a community food drive beginning Monday, Nov. 3, through Thursday, Nov. 6, at Christian Service Mission, 3600 3rd Ave. South. Drop-off hours will be 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • Coordinating with local partners to serve as an information hub, connecting residents to additional wraparound services and assistance programs available during this period. Residents can monitor birminghamal.gov/bhamready for updates.

“At its core, we all believe the role of the government is simple. To protect and care for its people,” said the Council’s Alexander. “When federal leadership cannot ensure these programs are fully funded, it falls on us at the local level to take up that responsibility.”

Tracy Hipps, Executive Director of Christian Service Mission, said residents should not rely just on public officials to help during the crisis.

“The greatest commandment that we can live out is to love our neighbor,” he said. “If you have a neighbor in need, help them. Don’t wait on the city, don’t wait on anybody else, you help them. That’s our responsibility … Live out the gospel every day.”

Individuals and organizations interested in supporting the response effort are encouraged to email BHAMready@birminghamal.gov. Messages should include the sender’s name, organization, phone number, and any commitments or questions. City staff will respond promptly. Information and updates regarding this initiative will be posted at www.birminghamal.gov/bhamready.

The gathering brought together dozens of changemakers, champions, and advocates who support WFA’s critical research, policy advocacy, and groundbreaking philanthropic efforts that empower women across Alabama. Through grantmaking, the organization has invested over $11 million in nearly counties, supporting groups on the frontlines of change. Investments in initiatives like women-owned childcare centers are already making a difference in communities, according to WFA. The group said it has also set an ambitious goal to move 10,000 women into the workforce by 2027.

Two ribbons were cut Monday, Oct. 20, to celebrate the transformation of Birmingham’s former A.G. Gaston Boys & Girls Club into the new Legacy Prep Intermediate School.

The first ribbon welcomed community leaders, donors and partners who helped make the milestone possible: The long-vacant, unused and dilapidated structure was transformed into a shining, new state-of-the-art facility.

“This campus is more than a school building, it’s a promise to Birmingham’s children,” said Reneta Johnson, head of schools at Legacy Prep. “Opening inside the historic A.G. Gaston Boys & Girls Club allows us to honor a legacy of leadership and perseverance while preparing the next generation of scholars to lead and thrive.”

The former Boys & Girls Club, a landmark of Birmingham’s history at 2900 S. Park Drive SW, was reimagined for the future.

The new facility was made possible through the generous support of those who believe in Legacy Prep’s vision of investing in today’s children to empower tomorrow’s leaders. The Alabama Power Foundation, BlueCross BlueShield of Alabama, The Daniel Foundation, EBSCO and others were among supporters.

The second ribbon was for two Ed Farm classrooms located inside the new school. Named the “Den of Discovery,” the classrooms are designed to empower and equip students with technology, including green screens and 3D printing. Students will be encouraged to create content, such as podcasts, videos and music, and to ask questions and seek answers to life’s challenges.

History of Legacy Prep

Legacy Prep, founded in 2017, is a grassroots, community-focused public charter school whose educational model reimagines the educational experience for children in Birmingham while equipping them with the skills to thrive in an ever-evolving world, according to a press release.

Since its charter application was approved in May 2017, Legacy Prep has raised more than $4.1 million in local, state and federal grants.

“We opened our doors to 118 kindergarten through second grade students in August 2019 and have since expanded to serve 554 K-7 students,” the press release said. “97% qualify for free/reduced-price lunch; 10.4% have special learning needs and qualify for an Individual Education Plan; and 96% identify as Black/African American, 1% as Latino and 3% as White, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaskan Native, or multiracial.”

The school will serve scholars in grades four through eight, marking a major expansion of Legacy Prep’s mission to provide a high-quality, college-preparatory education rooted in leadership and entrepreneurship.

Legacy Board Chair Desire Crumb said school officials believe their scholars deserve spaces that inspire growth, confidence and transformation.

“Today’s celebration is more than just the opening of a new facility, it’s the realization of our vision to champion school choice, promote equity in education and unlock limitless possibilities for every student,” she said. “We see LPI as a launch pad for dreamers, innovators, and future leaders. This is a place where potential takes flight and where the impact will ripple far beyond our classrooms into the heart of the community.”
