Dasha AI, along with 19 other startups, announced to be participating in the Global Pilots program by Microsoft, EY and Startupbootcamp aimed at helping innovative projects enter the international market.

The accelerator program placed its focus on B2B startups that create solutions using such state of the art technologies as artificial intelligence, IoT, virtual and augmented reality, etc. The committee decided whether a startup was eligible for the program based on its unique selling point, current operational performance, ability to scale globally, and the team’s potential, among other factors. Over 200 startups applied for the program, but Dasha AI met all the requirements and became one of the chosen few.

The program kicked off on March 10 and will last 12 weeks. Over these 3 months, more than 50 global market experts conduct seminars on a variety of subjects, including interaction with corporate customers, developing a scalable cloud IT infrastructure, organizing a partner ecosystem, working with investors, compliance with international legal standards (for example, GDPR) and much more. One of the highlights of the program is aiding the startups in launching a pilot project with a large international company.

The most promising startups will also be able to strengthen the partnership with the organizers and partners of Global Pilots: they can apply for the Microsoft for Startups program, which enables the companies to access Microsoft Azure technologies and development tools, and earn Microsoft co-sell status.

At Dasha, we are creating a voice AI that sounds exactly like a human and helps automate a wide range of business processes, so we are firmly convinced that our disruptive technology, that is going to pass the full Turing test in the foreseeable future, has every chance to get the most out of this promising cooperation.
