Aatmunn, meaning "soul," is an industrial technology company with a clear mission: to revolutionize the lives of over 2 billion frontline workers globally.

The adoption of technology among these workers has been inconsistent, leading to stagnant or declining outcomes. Aatmunn aims to change this narrative with its AI-powered data fabric and applications, already trusted by 150+ marquee customers like SpaceX, PepsiCo, and Amazon, as well as device manufacturers such as 3M and RKI. Weve achieved remarkable growth, with a 100% YoY increase in ARR.

ConverSight is a SaaS B2B start-up based out of Indianapolis, IN. Its conversational intelligent platform uses Natural Language Processing and machine learning to converge the distance between humans and machines. ConverSight’s AI business assistant, Athena, connects distributed databases (ERPs and CRMs), delivering on-demand insights to direct your next move through 3 key functions: 1.) Information on Demand 2.) Proactive Insights and Dashboards 3.) Recommended Actions. ConverSight recognizes that large firms have vast amounts of data in many structures and formats which cannot be easily accessed by the end-user or combined in such a way as to provide meaningful insights. Efforts to integrate data from multiple sources and make data more accessible have cost companies billions of dollars while still relying on IT or “super users” to generate reports, restricting access to data or further slowing the process. BI adoption to date hovers at just 20%, resulting in 80% of business decisions being made without insights.
