Five founders each get eight minutes to pitch an AI product built for media, marketing or the creative industries. Then a panel of start-up, scale up and innovation leaders gives live feedback. Every product is already on the market or about to launch, so the pitches focus on what the tool does and who is using it, not on projected growth curves. Past AI Upfronts include Springboards.ai, LEOprd and Heatseeker.
The humAIn audience is the one these founders most want in the room: the people who might buy their tools, partner with them or invest.
