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.
The startups joined our inaugural accelerator class where we exposed them to a roster of incredible speakers and workshops, our mentor community, and a curriculum designed not only to take their business forward but also to amp up their personal leadership capacity.
On Dec 1st we had the teams present their businesses in our classroom — here are their pitches.
