AI Startup Showcase

The areas of data science and artificial intelligence are hot commodities in which organizations, VCs, and even individuals actively seek to invest. While start-ups usually do the pitching of their idea, product, and vision to investors in order to gain funding, it is a rarer sight to see investor groups pitch their position in the growing field.
This event enables start-up companies and contributors to hear the position of AI investment companies as they pitch their organization, vision, and the reason that start-ups or data science projects should partner with them for funding.
