Max Kahn: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Some of the biggest challenges facing companies looking to adopt emerging technologies is integration, security, and access. We launched SAP.iO to make it as easy as possible for SAP's customer base to adopt new solutions in record time. To do this, our global team helps enterprise software startups partner with SAP and integrate their solutions to enable their growth. In addition, SAP recognized that driving inclusive entrepreneurship in the enterprise software and VC industries could accelerate innovation, reduce bias, and drive better outcomes. That's why we committed to ensuring 45% of our portfolio companies are founded or led by women and underrepresented entrepreneurs.
Mel: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Our company and team believe in the power of friendships to change the world! Some of the biggest challenges across the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals can’t be solved by one person or organization, much like sometimes you need to work in groups on projects assigned by your teacher. Landmark Ventures touches on all of the SDGs, but our main focus is on building relationships between leaders, funders, innovators, and experts to form partnerships that solve challenges together.
Mariam: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Our work at Brainify.AI helps people suffering from depression by assisting pharmaceutical companies in developing effective antidepressants. We use AI technology to analyze brain signals, making it easier to identify patients who will respond well to new treatments. This leads to more successful clinical trials and ultimately brings better medications to those in need.
