Six months after they first started working on their startup, the founders of AI startup uTu.ai got to give 10-minute pitches to a handful of regional companies during Philly Tech Week 2017 presented by Comcast. It was part of Technical.ly Introduced, an event we organized to help B2B startups meet potential partners. One of those companies was Power Home Remodeling. Sixty days later, uTu.ai had landed its first paying customer.

“It was a perfect use case,” cofounder Jonathan Mellinger said. “If only they were all that easy.”

That first customer helped uTu figure out where it needed to allocate resources and demonstrate a proof of concept to their investors.

Check out more about uTu.ai in this guest post by Mellinger about his experience during Philly Tech Week 2017.
