Looking for ideas on how to spark A.I. innovation in your organization? Nicole Büttner, the eloquent and effervescent Founder/CEO of Merantix Labs, has concrete A.I. innovation frameworks for you in this week's guest episode.

Merantix Labs is a renowned Berlin-based consultancy that enables companies to unlock the value of A.I. across all industries.

In addition to being Founder and CEO of Merantix Labs, Nicole:
• Is a member of the Management Board of Merantix Labs’ parent company Merantix, an A.I. Venture Studio that has raised $30m in funding from the likes of SoftBank Group Corp. to serially originate successful ML start-ups.
• Holds a Masters in Quantitative Economics and Finance from the University of St.Gallen, the world’s leading German-language business school.
• Was a visiting researcher in Economics at Stanford University.

In this episode, Nicole details:
• What an A.I. Venture Studio is and how she founded a thriving A.I. consultancy within it
• How to spark A.I. innovation in a company of any size
• How to effectively use the unlabelled, unbalanced data sets that abound in business
• How to engineer reusable data and software components to tackle related projects efficiently
• The three distinct types of founders she looks for when she puts together the founding team of an A.I. start-up

Today’s episode touches on a few technical details here and there but the episode will largely be of interest to anyone who’s keen to make the most of A.I. innovation in a commercial organization, whether you happen to have a deep technical background today or not.

Special shout-out to the St. Gallen Symposium (Svenja, Rolf), which Nicole and I discuss our love for (as well as how you can get free flights, accommodation, and access — deadline to apply is Feb 1) starting at the 34-minute mark.
