ElevenLabs’ Post

Accessibility startups around the world have benefitted from our unique programming, support, and resources, including ATS Labs Alumni Deaf AI - an assistive-tech startup that is using AI to remove barriers when communicating with sign language. Here’s what CEO & Co-Founder Mehdi (Mohammad Mehdi) Masoumi had to say about our accelerator: “ATS Labs gave us the opportunity to connect with many brilliant accessibility leaders from all parts of the world. ATS Lab is not only an accelerator; it is also educational training for founders to understand the accessibility ecosystem and stakeholders, then make business cases for their venture by connecting stakeholders. We feel inspired and privileged for such an experience, and we highly recommend this program to all aspiring accessibility ventures.” ATS Labs 2024 kicks off this September for accessibility startups anywhere in the world.

First session of the new monthly #meetup, and it's off to a great start. Any founder should care about the topics we talked about (and demoed) last night: - #GenAI apps that have become indispensable in our business operations, and why - how software development has become lots faster and more accurate - how we use GenAI apps in unintended ways - how GenAI is on its way to take over not only tasks, but roles in startup teams So join the discussion, share best practice, learn from fellow entrepreneurs - just sign up for the meetup group, it's free and without obligations! And despite it being hosted by NEXT MANNHEIM, it's open to anyone from around the world. https://lnkd.in/dnztqkZJ MAFINEX Technologiezentrum Fiona Preisler Eva-Maria Markutzik Laurenz L.

I went to a 1st Mondays event that Startup San Diego sponsored last night. It's an organization focused on building the startup community in San Diego. It was hosted a ClickUp which incidentally operates from this amazing building downtown. The nightscape is inspiring and the back patio looks directly onto Petco Park where the San Diego Padres play. The event included networking and a moderated panel of experts, four women and one guy. They were all producers or executive producers of a new movie being released called, "Show Her the Money." Link: https://lnkd.in/gQ8s2uGT. It was fascinating to hear these women and man, all of whom own and operate venture funding firms, discuss the underserved market that is women and minority-owned businesses. Women-owned businesses receive only 2% of all funding that is allocated from venture capital companies. That's a shocking and low number. Grace Chui-Miller, Chief Financial Officer at Correlation Ventures, was one of the panelists. She shared that her firm has $500MM under management and that 15% is invested in women-owned companies. Notable about that figure is that it's 7x more than the average. All the panelists are making a focused effort to help women and minority-owned startups. It was inspiring to hear their collective vision and that they're putting their money where their mouths are. Not only are they a source of capital, but they provide ideas, guidance, and mentorship working to give fledgling businesses a real shot at succeeding. What an impact they're making! Ganbatte kudasai!

“I advise everybody to pursue open source.” 📺 We at La Famiglia sat down with Guillermo Rauch, the founder and CEO of Vercel & Next.js, to discuss open-source startups, how AI will change human interaction with the world, and much more. 👇🏽 Check out the full interview in the comments below.

The future of SaaS is open source

I challenge you to start up your first business today. This may be the best time to do it (by far). Markets are down, tech darlings have laid off top talent, and AI+No Code makes it possible to build in weeks which used to take months. This means 👇 ✅ It's easier to hire top talent ✅ It's easier to find a co-founder ✅ You can exit your business in an upmarket ✅ Seed funding is still available There's a new wave of tech startups coming that will merge the digital and physical worlds using AI.
