Over 50 panels are discussing AI during Web Summit Rio, but which Brazilian startups are truly investing in AI and securing investments? A recurring concern among investors is identifying the #startups that are heavily investing in #artificialintelligence beyond mere rhetoric. To tackle this challenge, Sling Hub has developed a pioneering methodology to classify companies that are harnessing AI in substantial ways. A dedicated squad delves into the specific details—such as whether the startup holds its own code patents, for instance 🔍 This innovative classification categorizes startups into two groups: AI-first, which have AI at their core and proprietary technology, and AI-enabled, which leverage AI to enhance their business without necessarily owning proprietary AI. Sling Hub's research for the first quarter of 2024 indicates that Brazilian AI-first and AI-enabled startups have raised over $110 million across 38 funding rounds. Seven Brazilian AI-first startups have raised $35 million, spread across seven rounds: Visio.ai, Fintalk, Traive, Cromai, Neowrk, Mantis-AI, and Delfos. #agfintech Traive secured the largest investment among them, receiving $20 million from Banco do Brasil. In Latin America, startups whose main value proposition revolves around intensive use of artificial intelligence have raised over $198 million across 54 investment rounds in Q1 2024. Among regional AI-first startups, the funding reached $56 million across ten rounds. Request a trial of Sling Hub's new AI methodology here: https://lnkd.in/dZYjxyW6

🌍✨ Last week, our team was able to plunge into the vibrant city of Lisbon, Portugal, as we attended this year's #WebSummit! Walking the vibrant streets of Lisbon, exchanging information in various insightful discussions about how the landscape of technology has been changing, especially #AI—was nothing short of being an inspiration. During the event, we tightened bonds with our amazing partners and saw for ourselves what is being innovated in the tech industry. And, of course, all anyone could talk about was AI—and rightfully so. The ingenuity and investments of both startups and mature companies alike were astounding. 🧠 Here is how we see things: The future is veering towards two transformative paths: 1️⃣ AI-driven technologies that empower humans by automating processes, enhancing decision-making, and driving exponential growth. These solutions don't replace human potential; they amplify creativity and productivity, much like the Industrial Revolution once did. 2️⃣ An increasing interest in non-digital, offline solutions for those people who want to take breaks from all this connected world and make the world strikingly more balanced. As innovation picks up speed, we're thrilled to be part of the action in shaping a future where technology is an enabler and not a replacement. 🚀 What's your take on this? Are you embracing the potential of AI, or do you lean more toward finding offline, non-tech opportunities? Share with me your thoughts below! 👇 #WebSummit2024 #Lisbon #Innovation #FutureOfTech #Startups
