Group 1 AI ML Companies - Cohort #4 - Workers Launchpad Demo Day

Hi, I'm Paul, CEO at Fairmont. At Fairmont, our mission is to enable businesses to build their own AI tools, tools that are unique to them. Look, I'm sure you've experienced this before. Inside a large company, there's tasks and workflows that are too obscure, unique, complex, to be worth solving by any one existing solution in the market. If you're a tech company or maybe a startup, you'll gather your engineers and try to build an internal tool to solve those problems and cover that gap. But if you're not, these expensive and annoying tasks are normally left unresolved. They're like money holes, stacking up inefficiencies in the business. The fact is, with AI, this long, long tale of previously impossible tasks are now far easier to solve. Take, for example, the e-commerce team at a retailer that needs to automatically generate product descriptions in 10 different languages. Or take the HR team that needs a few days to process applications. If only the tech team at these companies had AI superpowers. If only they could combine different AI models, build their own AI tools and solve those problems for their colleagues. This is how it looks like. A new customer will start off with an AI toolbox, specifically designed for their industry. In this case, we're looking at the fashion one. This toolbox comes prepared with tools like Sketch to Image to preview designs or Virtual Try-On to see how clothes fit. This already provides an excellent power tool for fashion designers. We got P&F with retail and fashion companies. And we're already helping global brands like Mango or the Volkswagen Group save hundreds of hours in design and marketing departments. Let's actually see how Format is helping one of our customers in retail, the S.Oliver Group in Germany, and why we think this is a great opportunity. As you can see, they start off with a standard toolbox for any retail company. But as time goes, they realize that they need some custom tools. In this case, our Try-On tool only lets you upload one item per generation. And they needed to upload everything at once. So they did that change. You know, these were all previously very manual and expensive resources for this client. So the teams at S.Oliver quickly adopted these new tools. We realized that as they develop unique tools on top of Format, we become more and more sticky. We believe we can replicate this not only in every fashion and retail company, but finding opportunities like those in every industry. In other words, we can do this for everything. We're a team of engineers that learned how to sell. We've got P&F in fashion and retail, and we're proliferating in every deal. Also, we've got global customers who are expanding the usage of Format every week. We are not raising at the moment, but if this excites you, my email is on the screen. Thank you. Hello, I'm Jim Scott, CEO and founder of Lead. I'm excited to tell you about our generative CMS for B2B marketers, providing comprehensive buying team analytics. This is what the current tech stack looks like for most B2B marketing teams. Each workflow and touchpoint is supported by a variety of different tools. Each of these tools has its own little silo of customer data, focused on its individual purpose. This creates two big problems. First, you can't know the whole story about your customers' journeys. Second, you can't accelerate workflows or customer journeys with AI. In order to solve these problems, consolidation of many of these tools is required. Lead has brought key needs of B2B marketers into a single AI-accelerated platform. This allows you to track everything about your potential customers. And this tracking is done in the same tool you use for content management, hosting a lightning-fast scalable website, and running email and marketing operations. If you're a B2B marketer, you'll immediately understand the value of knowing everything. It means buying groups are revealed, complete attribution chains are now easy to understand, better lead scoring providing a more valuable handoff to your sales team. Those are some significant benefits, and I haven't even mentioned the efficiency gains that come from having a simpler marketing stack, removing clunky and costly integrations, and applying powerful automations. Here's a small highlight of features from our generative CMS. Every page on your site can be edited collaboratively and deployed easily. Built -in analytics for every page, for every button, asset, and specific copy. We also support campaigns, email marketing, provide recommendation engines, and more. Email marketing is actually a great example of the unique capabilities of a consolidated system. Our recommendation engine, combined with our AI capabilities, enables sending personalized emails to every prospect. To really top off that capability, every custom email is sent from your domain, making it more likely to hit inboxes instead of spam. And all tracking data is first party on your domain. We're targeting B2B technology companies, a $20 billion serviceable addressable market. Despite significant investments, Gartner reports that marketing teams use only 33% of their stack's capabilities, highlighting a very clear need for consolidation in this space. Our solution is built for enterprise customers, but we offer a bootstrapper program to provide our scalable marketing solutions at a fraction of the cost to help early-stage startups build a solid revenue pipeline. Our team includes experts in AI, data analytics, and digital marketing, from industry leaders like NVIDIA, Databricks, and MapR. We bring first-hand experience to address all of the pain points we aim to solve. Lead lets B2B marketers work faster and know everything by simplifying their marketing stacks into a single AI -accelerated platform. We're currently raising a pre-seed round of $2.5 million to expand our impact. We can't wait to speak with you to discuss how we can work together. Thank you. Hey, y'all. My name is Zach Hotoff, CEO, co-founder, and community manager for Tightknit, the community platform built for Slack. Community in 2025 has become today's B2B growth lever. Businesses like Clay.com have 10X'd their businesses two years in a row using community and word of mouth, and Google now prefers user-generated content like Reddit and small discussion forums as their primary search vehicle. When you're building a community platform, there are two choices, conversational and modern forums. And at the very top of both sits Slack, with 25% market share. The problem is Slack is not a community platform until you introduce Tightknit. We're the best marketing tool for a Slack community to build, nurture, and convert an audience. We're the first modern conversational forum that does not sacrifice engagement or discovery. We're a supercharged Slack application and web platform that allows you to build customer advocacy programs, member engagement forums, moderation events, and so much more inside of your customer Slack workspace. We've been able to help businesses like Mixpanel drive more Internet traffic with a white-labeled content forum running on a Tightknit site. Dovetail has had 300 more event registrations because they've been using Tightknit's event promotion inside of their Slack workspace. And CultureAm inside of their 45,000-person PeopleGeek community uses badges and gamification through the Tightknit platform to drive a culture of recognition. Our customers are some of the fastest-growing B2B SaaS companies out there, as well as community associations where business is the community itself. And we'd be remiss to not mention our own community of 424 members, which is actively where we build our customer love and champions. The market is growing rapidly because marketing, sales, and support are becoming 99% AI-driven. So where do you meet all of the people, the humans behind the businesses you love? Well, it's in the community. Our team is our two Experience Cloud and Community Cloud leaders with 10 years each of experience building enterprise-grade community platforms for businesses like Google, Disney, and Home Depot. We are so excited for you to first join us in Slack in our community to learn how to build better customer experiences and build that customer love for your space. Also, thank you so much for being part of the Cloudflare Launch Program. We have had so much fun and could not thank you more. Hello, my name is Predrag, founder of Maxim.

Hello everyone, my name is Tyler Klein. I'm the founder of June, and thanks for joining me today. I'm excited to introduce you to a tool that I think will redefine the way professionals engage in high-stakes conversations. As I saw a critical gap growing in the AI industry, and I think in today's world, the success of a sales pitch, a negotiation, or an interview hinges on accessing the right input in real-time decisions. That's why I built June. What makes June truly compelling is how we've tackled two of the biggest challenges in real-time AI support. First, we're built on Cloudflare's low-latency NELP. This technology allows June to process and deliver insights in mere milliseconds. Second, we recognize enormous untapped potential at the application lane modalities like audio, and especially real -time audio. And June leverages this opportunity by seamlessly integrating into your conversations, providing tailored guidance without any complex integration. Today, I'm thrilled to show you how June transforms high-stakes moments into opportunities for success. Let's dive in and see how June can give you a competitive edge. Before we dive into the demo, I just want to give you a brief overview of what I'm showing you here today. For professionals in a high-stakes conversation, we're going to face three critical hurdles that impede their ability. One, there's that instant expertise gap. Number two, integration friction. And number three, low-latency deficit. You know, even the most advanced AI systems fall short where they can't deliver it right away. Imagine being on a sales call. Every second counts when you're trying to close a deal. Or whether you're recruiting a candidate for an interview or navigating a complex negotiation, June works for all of those people. No matter what the high-stakes conversation is, June's your partner. But for today's demo, we're going to pretend to be part of a sales conversation between two folks, and you'll see that June can transform into a competitive advantage for whichever perspective you are. Well, for the demo today, I'm going to have a YouTube video running in the background of a sales call, just for demonstration purposes to show you what June can do. And once we get started, I have June open here, and you can see some of my tabs and sessions that I previously used June for. But we're going to open up a new tab in June, and that'll establish a new session for us. Once you open a new session, you can configure your audio settings. June's configuration is just a simple toggle. It works out of the box for any app on your device, including your microphone. In these settings, you're telling June which audio to pull in and send to June. For today, I'm going to use Safari. And then that's done. And now on to the fun part. In June, you can create your own personas, an unlimited amount of personas, even for a single session. They let you choose an expertise for any type of conversation, whether it's sales guru for closing deals or technical advisor for in-depth discussions. Essentially, personas transform June into the perfect real-time copilot for any type of interaction. You can add custom context, upload files, you name it. Here, I'm going to put some context for sales employee, how to customize it for this specific sales call. And I'm also going to upload June's pitch deck, just to illustrate how to upload a file through June's UI. June's going to use all this for context of, A, how to behave, B, how to contribute to the conversation, and just generally how you want them to act in this session. Once the persona is created, we're going to choose some skills here first. We'll choose Analytics and Enterprise Software, Sales, and BizDev. We click Create Persona. We're ready to go. Now let's click Record. And now start seeing the live transcripts coming in. Once June has built up enough context for the conversation, it'll start providing guidance to you, insights, ideas on what to say. It really is based on how you create and design your persona. And so that's all I have for you today for the demo. But we're super excited about the other fun features we have coming out over the next coming weeks. So be on the lookout for some launches and have a good one. Hi, my name is Rob. I'm Head of Growth and Product at Speak. Speak is a AI -powered inbound high-volume applicant review. What we do is we look to score resumes against job descriptions and custom signals, saving time and improving the candidate experience. The reality is recruiters are overwhelmed by the number of inbound applicants that they receive. They're consistently being asked to do more with less. But they spend a lot of time reviewing resumes manually, which wastes time and leads to unconscious bias and missed talent. On the other side of that are candidates who are left feeling in the dark when they don't hear back, which can hurt your employer brand. Our customers are talent acquisition teams that are mid-market, smaller organizations that are looking to use AI to increase the automation and functionality of their talent acquisition teams. Our customers use ATS systems like Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, and Workable, which we integrate bidirectionally into seamlessly. The global talent acquisition market is worth billions, and companies are continuing to invest in tools to speed up and enhance their hiring process. Speak addresses a massive and growing need to make hiring more efficient, equitable, and candidate -friendly. Our team combines years of experience in HR tech and recruiting expertise with AI and software to provide a great solution to our customers. If there's three things you can take away from this, it's Speak can reduce your resume review time by 90%. It can reduce the time to fill by an average of 10 days. And we integrate with leading ATS systems like Greenhouse, Lever, Workable, and Ashby. Thank you so much for your time, and I hope you have a great day.
