From Lab to 1.2M: How a Neuroscientist Raised Her First Round in Berlin

Is more AI needed? These founders are building an AI that companies can trust. Meet Angelina Lesnikova and ask her all your questions.

The AI market is loud, crowded and full of demos nobody buys. Angelina Lesnikova and her team went the opposite way: into biopharma, where a single hallucinated fact can cost millions and where nobody gets to say “the model made it up.”

They built a framework that makes hallucinations impossible to hide — and raised 1.2 million euros doing it. Behind that round: ten months of hands-on support in the SIBB Incubator, where Angelina went from scientist to fundable founder. Ask her how you find a market that pays instead of one that applauds.

What you will learn

• How to start a company with a scientific background • How to create true value in the booming market of AI solutions • How to convince investors and manage a financing round in AI

This event is brought to you by SIBB Incubator, who supports founders building the future of cybersecurity, trustworthy AI, and deep tech.
