According to Ciro Donalek, CTO and co-founder of Virtualitics: “Our mission is to democratize machine learning, to allow anyone, regardless of their background quickly get insights from complex data. Lack of data scientists and the inability for standard BI tools to keep up with the new data challenges are crucial pain points in being able to extract value from the huge amount of data available nowadays. That’s where our solution has shined, helping our clients to understand their data and achieve actionable insights quickly. For over a decade, SXSW Pitch has played a pivotal role in shaping the early-stage venture ecosystem, giving promising companies the resources they need to succeed when it matters most and providing high profile exposure through judges from key industry players such as Amazon and Google X,” said SXSW Pitch Event Producer Chris Valentine. “Of the 503 companies who have participated since the competition’s inception, over 75 percent have gone on to secure funding and 16 percent have been acquired. We’re excited to see this year’s impressive group of startups take to the stage and show us how their innovations will change the world.”
