Salesforce Incubator’s Second Batch Focuses on Artificial Intelligence

March 10, 2017

15 startups represent the second batch of the Salesforce Incubator, and this cohort has a clear focus: artificial intelligence innovation.

It makes sense—Salesforce just launched Einstein, “a a breakthrough technology that embeds advanced AI capabilities directly into the Salesforce Platform, empowering any company to deliver more predictive and personalized customer experiences across sales, service, marketing, commerce and more,” according to Ludovic Ulrich, senior director, Startups & AppExchange Marketing at Salesforce.
