We’re proud to share that PayShore has been selected for the 2026 FinTech|X Accelerator, run by Tampa Bay Wave. The program is accelerated by the Regions Foundation and supported by the University of South Florida Muma College of Business.

This year’s cohort includes 13 startups from the United States and the United Kingdom, working across areas from payments and AI-powered financial intelligence to wealth building and risk management. The program connects founders with mentors, investors, and industry leaders. Tampa Bay Wave was ranked the No. 3 accelerator in the U.S. and No. 1 in Florida by TIME earlier this year, according to the announcement.

PayShore is based in Riverview, Florida. We’re building a single place for finance teams to see cash and manage payables, receivables, approvals, and payments across the banks they already use, without replacing their banks or their ERP.

The cohort began the week of October 5 with the Bridging The Bay: FinTech|X Accelerator Mixer at the ARK Innovation Center, followed by a welcome reception hosted by CliftonLarsonAllen in Tampa. We’re grateful to the Tampa Bay Wave team, the Regions Foundation, and USF for the opportunity, and we’re looking forward to the mentorship and connections ahead.
