IA40 Summit in Seattle October 10th & 11th Celebrates the 2023 Winners Innovating with AI and Generative AI
PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Cresta, a leading provider of Generative AI for intelligent contact centers is has been named to the 2023 Intelligent Applications Top 40 (#IA40) list. This industry-driven list, sponsored by Madrona Ventures, Microsoft, AWS for Startups, McKinsey, and PitchBook, identifies top companies at different stages of growth that are building applications with AI and GenAI. Intelligent apps harness machine learning to process historical and real-time data to create a continuous learning system. These systems employ AI and Generative AI techniques and technologies to deliver optimal outcomes for their customers.
For the 2023 IA40 list, Madrona solicited the top venture investors in AI for nominations of the private companies they believe will transform and define the next generation of technology. From the 350 nominated companies, 60 venture investors at 50 firms voted on their top choices. Madrona then worked with Pitchbook to apply its AI-driven algorithm that predicts outcomes for private companies to create the final list.
“This recognition of Cresta signals the importance of our commitment to creating AI products that drive meaningful results for businesses,” said Ping Wu, CEO of Cresta. “Cresta will continue to provide our customers with a fully integrated suite of intelligent solutions that empower their agents, managers, and leaders to drive greater revenue and ensure every customer experience is excellent.”
“AI and GenAI are dramatically changing the landscape of the software and hardware industry today, and we expect the companies recognized as top IA40 companies will lead the way in helping information workers more quickly understand complex data, creatives build amazing experiences, developers become more productive, and consumers experience magical moments — and frankly things we haven’t thought of yet,” Madrona Managing Director, Matt McIlwain said. “As a decades-long investor in this space, we are excited to see the incredible pace of innovation and congratulate the team at Cresta. We look forward to tracking your progress.”
