About this session
Selling your AI startup/product into a large enterprise is hard. I often sit on the buyer's side of the table at a large hedge fund. I've sat through 100+ AI startup pitches and am responsible for running the pilots that may eventually convert into your ARR. We'll cover what works, what doesn't, and what large enterprise customers need to see in order to choose 'buy' over 'build'.
Speaker
