Pi Labs has launched its 2023 Growth Programme backing five early-stage start-ups that have developed technologies with the potential to ‘positively impact the way businesses and societies interact with the built world’.
The start-ups participating in the programme, which takes place between February and May, receive an initial cash injection and possible follow-on funding. At the end of the programme the companies get to pitch to an audience of VCs, angel investors and potential clients at Pi Labs’ annual demo day.
Faisal Butt, CEO of Pi Labs, said: “This is by far the broadest variety of entrepreneurs that we have brought together for our Growth Programme. From monitoring community health in sewers to environment health from out in space, this exceptional group of founders is tackling some of the most pressing issues facing the future of cities, communities and companies. By addressing how data is collected, analysed, deployed and managed, we believe these companies will play a role in shaping how we build more sustainable communities, thriving cities, and resilient businesses for years to come.”
