Investor Dinner: Scaling Enterprise with AI

Join some of Austin’s most impactful investors for an evening of networking and a private chef-curated dinner at a contemporary downtown Austin residence with impressive city views.On November 12, Sid Atkinson and Lee Harper, co-founders of Applied Curiosity, will join us for a fireside chat on scaling enterprise AI adoption, accelerating delivery, and building a high-growth Data & AI business.Applied Curiosity is an Austin-based boutique data & AI consulting firm that's bootstrapped its way to $3M+ in revenue while serving a select group of enterprise customers. After 20+ years in the data space and solving some of the most complex problems for customers, they’ve developed the internal operating system that drastically reduces delivery timelines, increasing both value and profitability. With AI implementation demand rapidly outpacing delivery capacity and FDE investments in every major CSP, competent, capable data firms with the tools to accelerate AI adoption are in all-time-high demand. Here's their investor deck.

We’ll explore whether Data & AI firms can scale into high-growth businesses, the role consulting firms can play in the AI boom, and whether now is the right time to raise capital.
