On April 20-21, 2023, we will be welcoming you again to our annual EU-Startups Summit in Barcelona! This year, the event will be bigger and better than ever before and we’ll have lots of exciting speakers, panel discussions, networking activities, pitch competitions and much more. The EU-Startups Summit will gather over 2,000 founders, startup enthusiasts and investors for two days of networking, inspiration and learning!
Today, we are very excited to share that Umesh Sachdev, the Co-Founder and CEO of Uniphore will join us for a keynote on going from concept to unicorn, and how to overcome doubt and scale!
Founded in 2008, Uniphore specialises in conversational AI and enterprise automation. It’s been one of the pioneering players in this constantly evolving space and has been a key part of shaping the development of conversational AI. Based in California, Uniphore transforms how business enterprises harness the value of conversations with their customers to create future-proof customer experiences, for every industry. The global company has secured over €600 million in funding so far, and has reached unicorn status with a valuation of about $2.5 billion.
Like many founders, the journey for Uniphore CEO Umesh Sachdev has been filled with unexpected detours. From changing technologies to changing business models, impossible scale-up struggles to achieving unicorn status, the soaring highs and lows can be disorienting at best and crushing at worst. Guiding Uniphore from initial concept to a SaaS-based industry leader, Umesh understands the power of a strong guiding plan and the wisdom to know when to lean on the advice of others.
Join Umesh as he shares his top lessons learned and why his Grit, Guts and Grace management ethos is the key to building a long-lasting company.
