Singularity University Labs Startup Accelerator Demo Day Pitches

Introducing one of our startup founders at the SU Labs Demo Day pitch night.Over the last ten weeks my team and I here at Singularity University had the great pleasure of hosting seven of the most amazing early-stage startups leveraging exponential technologies to address humanity’s grand challenges.
