Exciting Announcements at Global MediaTech Pitch Day

Mark your calendars for September 28! Raw Ventures has officially announced the jury panel for the inaugural Global MediaTech Pitch Day, and yes, it will include an AI-powered juror. Because why not let artificial intelligence weigh in on human creativity?

The Star-Studded Jury Panel

This isn’t just any jury; it’s a lineup of industry titans. Joining our AI friend are:

• Rick Grandy: Principal Solutions Architect at Nvidia, likely to bring invaluable insights despite his potential reluctance to share any AI secrets.
• Aljoscha Burchardt: Principal Researcher at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, who’ll probably be measuring things like emotional intelligence versus algorithmic strategies.
• Anna Shakola: Chief Business Development Officer at Cointelegraph Accelerator, ready to sprinkle in some cryptocurrency wisdom.

The blend of these human experts with an AI juror is like tossing a genius into a Think Tank at warp speed!

Partnerships That Matter

In a move to supercharge the budding startups, Raw Ventures has teamed up with Amazon Web Services to shower selected startups with up to €25,000 in credits. Think of it as a financial hug to help them scale their projects without losing their heads over server bills.
