Nexus Louisiana has announced the first group of companies selected for its new Stealthmode Startup School, marking a fresh push to support early-stage ventures in the region. The announcement came during a recent showcase event where the organization also revealed the winners of its DevDays Education Challenge.

The Stealthmode Startup School is designed to provide founders with structured mentorship, resources, and strategic guidance during the critical early phase of building a company. By focusing on companies still operating in a "stealth" mode, the program aims to help them refine their business models and prepare for public launch.

Alongside the cohort announcement, the DevDays Education Challenge recognized teams that developed technology solutions aimed at improving educational outcomes. The challenge brought together developers and educators to create practical tools for classrooms and learning environments.

Nexus Louisiana continues to position itself as a hub for tech entrepreneurship and workforce development. The showcase highlighted the growing momentum in the local startup ecosystem, with both new founders and established developers contributing to the region's innovation landscape. Further details on the selected companies and challenge winners were shared during the event.
