Building In Applied AI: PolyAI & Sonantic

​Join us for a conversation with two of EF’s leading portfolio companies: PolyAI (customer-led voice assistants for enterprises) and Sonantic (hyper-realistic AI voices for the entertainment industry - acquired by Spotify in 2022).

​We’ll be joined by Nikola Mrkšić (Co-founder & CEO, PolyAI) and Zeena Qureshi (Co-founder, Sonantic). The session will explore how they turned early technical insights into scalable products, the key decisions that shaped their growth, and what they’ve learned building frontier AI companies from the ground up.
