The Redpine team is back from NVIDIA GTC, and we're still buzzing. Out of thousands of startups in the NVIDIA Inception program, only around a dozen were selected to pitch during the official Startup Sessions. Redpine's Founding Data Scientist Leonora Vesterbacka was one of them. Getting that invitation was more than a nice-to-have, it was a signal that what we've been building is resonating with the right people at the right time.‍

‍Pitching in front of a room full of investors, enterprise leaders, and fellow builders at one of the world's premier AI conferences was an intense experience. The questions pushed us to articulate our vision clearly, and the conversations that followed opened doors to collaborations we're genuinely excited to explore further.

‍Beyond the pitch itself, GTC was a masterclass in where the industry is heading. Three things stuck with us most: the acceleration of inference infrastructure, the growing appetite for domain-specific AI solutions, and just how hungry enterprise teams are for tools that actually deliver on the promise of AI, not just demo well. We also came back with great collaboration opportunities, spanning both technical partnerships and go-to-market work, that we'll be sharing more about in the coming weeks. We're carrying the energy from GTC into the next chapter, and we'll have more to share soon
