Recap of AI Workshop for Corporate CEOs & Investors

At Untapped Ventures, we invest in artificial intelligence (AI) and emerging technology that uplifts humanity. We’re committed to supporting the next generation of AI-led entrepreneurs through events like AI Pitchfest and workshops that inspire investors to leverage and invest in AI tools.

As a 4x founder with over 20+ years of experience scaling businesses from the ground up, and now as the General Partner at Untapped Ventures, I know firsthand how essential it is for entrepreneurs and investors to find the right AI tools that accelerate critical business outcomes.

Artificial intelligence is taking the world by storm. Although some might be familiar with ChatGPT, the vast amount of tools out there can be overwhelming to figure out. And it’s clear to investors that in order to get ahead, you need to first understand how AI tools work.

However, most CEOs and investors are pressed for time and it’s not feasible to try out every AI tool that’s currently out there. We created the AI Launchpad Workshop to democratize access to the complexities of the AI and emerging technology ecosystem and empower investors to bring these tools into their own offices.

During the hour-long workshop, we provided an overview of everything going on in the AI world right now and in the future. Attendees also learned how to leverage AI as a superpower to accelerate productivity, as we demonstrated top ten tools for businesses. Finally, we shared some best practices of AI investment.

Why is Artificial Intelligence Important?

It’s no secret that artificial intelligence tools can free up countless hours for investors. In fact, generative AI has the potential to automate work processes that take upwards of 60–70% of employees’ time today. More time often translates into increased revenue through heightened productivity, and not to mention, labor cost savings.

Take MindValley, for example, as a case study for how adopting artificial intelligence tools yielded 4x profitability for the company. Viven Lakhiani saved upwards of 1.5 days per week just by incorporating AI tools into his tech stack. He was able to both reduce headcount and increase overall earnings, just by having tools that automated his day-to-day.

Some might say that AI is just a trend that will fade away, but the data paints a very different story. ChatGPT reached 100 million users just two months after its initial launch, quicker than any other product to reach the same amount of devoted fans.

In the past year, NVIDIA, the chip maker that became an AI superpower, has seen its stock climb by just over 220% since the start of this year. Not to mention, Microsoft’s bet on AI has seen its stock rise roughly 46% since the beginning of this year, more than double the S&P 500 over the same period.

Venture capital firms are paying attention to headways in artificial intelligence. More than a third of venture capitalists surveyed by Pitchbook believe that artificial intelligence has the greatest growth potential across all sectors. Median pre-money valuations for early-stage rounds of generative AI companies have jumped by 16% in the past year. In the first half of 2023, AI companies raised $25B, representing 18% of global funding.

AI is only expanding and if you haven’t jumped on board, you might be missing out on being a part of the next big advent in emerging technology, and not to mention, return on investment. In order to fully embrace artificial intelligence and AI tools for businesses, it’s important to know how to leverage AI tools in daily processes to automate often time-consuming processes.
