Roundtable Recap: September 4 – AI Investment Thesis with Ihar Mahaniok, Geek Ventures

During this week’s roundtable, we had as our guest Ihar Mahaniok, Managing Partner at Geek Ventures. We had an excellent discussion on AI trends and startup opportunities.

AvQuint Innovations

As for pitches, first up we had Shantanu Sonawane from Pune, India, pitch AvQuint Innovations, a hardware product for automatically covering cars.

Jaovi-Go

Then we had Bruno Ferrini from Lima, Peru, try to pitch Jaovi-Go in Spanish. Unfortunately, we don’t do the roundtable discussions in Spanish or any other language except English.

Good news, however: If English is not your primary language, my feedback is available in 40 languages using our Digital Mind AI Mentor. You can “talk” to and ask questions about your strategy, your options, your idea, and anything else that is top of mind and needs discussion. The AI Mentor is private, 1-on-1, available 24/7. You can work with it on your schedule in English, Spanish, French, Hindi, and a host of other regional languages.

Hidden Gems

Next we had Karthik Venkatachalam from Mountain House, California, pitch Hidden Gems, a proposed AI Companion product for Indian languages.
