The Room Becomes a Fund - Would You Have Backed It?

Every day, AI systems quietly read pitch decks and pass judgment on products like yours. In this session, you sit on the other side of the table.

This is an interactive talk, and it starts before the festival: attendees receive a few questions in advance, and their answers collectively found a fund - the room’s own investment thesis, written down. On stage, we reveal it, then show how our platform scored three pitch decks against it - including one whose outcome nobody knows yet.

Along the way, the real story behind the machine: how agentic tools built inside a venture fund became a product shipped to regulated financial clients by a two-person, AI-native company.

Background

Célina builds AI deal-evaluation and sourcing platforms for professional investors, including regulated financial clients. A microengineer by training, she previously built AI automation at ellipsis Ventures and led its European campus scout programme - her master’s thesis automated the VC investment cycle, and Khare is what happened when it met the real world.

One day. Two stages. No filler.
