Upgrading Startup Fundraising With PreSeries’ Startup Battles

3 years ago, we launched a series of international startup competitions where our AI was tasked to replace a whole “human” jury. We call our events the AI Startup Battles and they’ve already been featured in Spain, Brazil, the United Kingdom, and the United States (check our blog). In our competitions, contenders interact live with our AI through a little voice-enabled device present on stage (the world’s first “VC-in-a-Box”).

Our AI asks the participants a set of questions looking for fact-based insights as well as many other investment and traction related metrics. It imitates human investors in the types of questions it asks but the breadth of information it can access in real-time is unmatched. PreSeries’ predictive models are trained with a diverse set of public and private data on more than 370,000 companies worldwide and can derive actionable insights in matter of seconds.

We believe that our AI can do a great job at judging the potential of an early-stage startup looking at features around team composition, its industry, its technological edge and its funding history. There is nothing more entertaining than having an data-driven algorithm decide of your fate! Don’t you agree?
