Pitching at Pitch2Pitch startup competition was not new to Umni. In July’2019 we participated in the 2nd season of this monthly startup competition by pitching Umni platform as an idea inspired by the city AI chatbot that our team have created for the visitors of Plovdiv as a European Capital of Culture – Plovdiv City AI Concierge, and we won the 1st place for the month of July.
Then in September’2020, at the Grand Finale Pitch among the winners of the past year, Umni came in the top 3 companies. At that time, we were doing the first steps with Umni as functioning platform, just created the centralized AI module as a concept and technologically and had the first customers using conversational AI in their chatbots on our platform.
Today Umni not only have working platform and customers who are with us for years and have great results using AI chatbot, but we are getting ready to release a new version of our platform that will be a game changer for the businesses with AI chatbot on their site.
We are extremely happy that our successful track record in this premium startup pitching event remain unbroken! Umni won the 2nd place!

The judges always play a crucial role in a pitch competition. It is their questions and attention to details, their curiosity, and the challenges they raise to founders that make us grow, be stronger and help the auditory understand better the business behind the 1-minute pitch.
