    Rady Alumnus’ Startup Vikk AI Selected for Prestigious Amazon and Meta Program

    “I’m especially excited about this partnership with AWS and Meta because it gives Vikk AI access to world-class technology, mentorship, and resources that will help us scale faster and smarter,” said Allos. “Beyond the technical advantages, it’s an opportunity to showcase the entrepreneurial drive fostered by our Rady School, and to turn cutting-edge AI into real solutions that empower consumers and transform industries.”

    He added that the Rady ecosystem continues to contribute to the company’s growth. Vikk AI and Rady School of Management collaborated in the Spring quarter of 2025 through a capstone course.  

    A total of five MBA students were enrolled as part of the engagement, contributing over 200 hours of research and strategic analysis.  Rady School students worked closely with the Vikk team on product analytics, market positioning, and early-stage AI feature validation, helping them refine the business model and align the company’s technology roadmap with customer needs.

     “I’m very grateful for the Rady students who participated in our capstone project—their fresh perspectives and contributions added real value and reflect the collaborative, entrepreneurial spirit that Rady instills,” Allos said.

    Through the partnership, Vikk AI will receive $200,000 in AWS cloud credits, direct mentorship from Meta and AWS engineers, and access to an elite network of AI founders—further solidifying its place at the forefront of legal technology innovation.
