AI-driven startups are dramatically reshaping the expectations around early venture traction, yet many investors remain tethered to traditional benchmarks. Addressing this mismatch directly, Kleida Martiro, a partner at Glasswing Ventures, will lead a crucial discussion at the upcoming TechCrunch All Stage event in Boston on July 15.
Martiro’s session, titled “Winning Capital in a Competitive Market: How to Fund Your AI-Native Startup,” is specifically tailored to guiding early-stage founders in effectively communicating their growth strategies and potential to investors who truly grasp the unique dynamics of modern AI ventures, whilst also identifying and bypassing those who are still reliant on outdated SaaS-style metrics.
With her extensive background as both an operator and investor, Martiro is uniquely qualified to address these crucial founder-investor dialogues. Prior to Glasswing, she spearheaded key machine-learning projects as Head of Data Science at SocialFlow, and today serves on the boards of numerous emerging AI companies. Her expertise has earned her recognition from respected industry outlets, including being named among Business Insider’s “41 Most Important VCs in Boston” and being designated as a “Women in AI Rising Star” by VentureBeat.
Participants of this breakout session can expect practical and actionable insights on aligning their startup’s vision, financial requirements, and long-term growth opportunities with investment partners attuned to the promise and potential of artificial intelligence technologies.
This highly interactive session promises ample opportunities for attendees to raise specific questions and engage deeply on key strategies to leverage funding and foster sustainable scaling in the AI space.
