Pitch Your Startup to AI

theIntelligent VC wanted to enhance their initial screening process for the AI FOR GOOD, INNOVATION FACTORY BALTICS 2024 program. They aimed to gather more comprehensive information about applicants beyond what traditional pitch decks could provide.

theIntelligent VC utilized 8D-1 to create a customized AI assistant for conducting automated interviews with startup founders. They placed a link to the assistant on their website and shared it via LinkedIn, allowing founders to engage with the AI at their convenience.

The 8D-1 AI assistant was made accessible through theIntelligent VC's website. Founders could pitch their ideas directly to the AI, which conducted in-depth interviews. The system then compiled detailed reports for the VC team to review, providing a standardized initial assessment for each applicant.

By using 8D-1, theIntelligent VC reduced the time spent on initial pitch reviews by approximately 15 hours per week. The AI assistant provided more detailed insights into each startup, resulting in a 40% decrease in unqualified applications. It also helped identify founders who were well-prepared and committed to their ideas.

8D-1 provides several benefits: it saves time on initial screenings, offers consistent and unbiased evaluations, and allows for 24/7 application submissions. The AI assistant asks follow-up questions to gather comprehensive information, resulting in detailed reports that help VCs make more informed decisions about which startups to pursue further.
