Dusseldorf What if you recognized the next unicorn before everyone else and were one of the first investors to get involved? Well, that would make you pretty rich at best. All you have to do is do one thing: bet on the right horse. And that’s not easy at all.
The potential candidates often consist of little more than a founding team with a good idea. Today, artificial intelligence (AI) should help to make the right decision. The early-stage financier Earlybird, for example, uses an AI that is said to be able to find and evaluate all data points from the Internet that could be useful for assessing the situation.
“So far, many investment decisions have been made based on gut feeling, especially at the very early stages in which a start-up can find itself. Earlybird is one of the first companies in this field to use AI to include the mass of data points on the Internet in decisions,” says Larissa Holzki, head of the AI ​​team at Handelsblatt, in the podcast.
Less gut feeling, more technology when making decisions – AI has what it takes to change the deal market for the long term. This leads to the second key question of this podcast episode: Who are the young, promising companies in the field of AI that are particularly successful with investors? Because AI has long been considered one of the great technologies of the future. The attention paid to this sector is correspondingly high.
Probably the best-known young AI company from Germany is Aleph Alpha. Like the AI ​​star OpenAI, the company from Heidelberg is working with ChatGPT on a language model that is intended to be used in particular in the B2B sector and also by public authorities. And it has only just become known that Aleph Alpha will become a partner of the Innovation Parc Artificial Intelligence (Ipai), which is to be built in Heilbronn for an estimated two billion euros.
In the current episode of Handelsblatt Deals, you can hear which competitors are accompanying the company and which AI companies you should keep an eye on now.
