From orange to gold

FieldPal usually spends its time giving field workers time back. Last week it was my turn to be careful with the clock. I had two minutes to pitch, and we won first place at Connect: AI.

Connect: AI is a monthly competition run by Publicize. AI startups pitch to a panel of journalists. The other companies in the room were Hestus, Digital Pills, Waydev, and Naratix, so it was not a quiet field.

The judges were Jennifer Riggins (The New Stack), Maria Korolov (CIO), Victoria Turk (WIRED), and Antoine Tardif (Unite AI). Jennifer's note afterwards was the one I wanted to hear: the clearest business model, customer, and product-market fit, explained in two minutes flat.

Thank you to Craig Corbett and Fraser Gillies at Publicize for hosting it, and to the judges for the questions.

The badge on the night started orange, "pitching participant", and finished gold. That is the whole story in one picture.

If you want the longer version of what we are building, it is at FieldPal.ai.
