Some of the world’s most influential companies have joined us at Web Summit at the beginning of their startup journey. Over the years we’ve welcomed OnePlus, Stripe, Nest, Uber, Careem, and GitLab when they were still early-stage startups, looking for funding, partnerships or figuring out their next move.

As we prepare for our big week in Lisbon, Web Summit has already begun for some investors as they organise meetings with startups that have caught their eye. Along with fintech, AI and machine learning startups have caught the eye of investors looking to the tech of the future.

Below are the seven AI and machine learning startups who have received the most interest in the run-up to Web Summit, with messages sent and meetings requested by investors through the Web Summit app.
