Grit’s domain expertise and ability to get us in the room with key corporate relationships not only yielded early customers, but gave us critical access to the data we needed to train our models at a crucial moment in Speechlab’s journey. They’ve been ideal partners, actively adding value with a deep understanding of AI at a level of technical depth we’ve found uncommon among other funds.
