All hands are on deck today (Tuesday) as 10 promising startups are set to compete for a shot at $100,000 from Datamellon, a cloud, data and generative AI consulting firm, during the highly anticipated London AI Ignite Pitch Battle.
Datamellon, a company deeply committed to nurturing early-stage innovation, has consistently invested tens of thousands of dollars in ventures poised to deliver real digital transformation.
This year is no exception, with the winning startup set to walk away with funding support and a golden ticket to the international stage.
The competing startups in this year’s showdown include BeGenio, 3 Rings Capital, VoxMind, Migraide AI, VAMP, Apply U, Peppa (Techstars ’22), ORAI Solutions, Documind, and Ruddr.AI.
The pitch battle is scheduled to be held at 20 St Thomas Street, London SE1 9RS, UK, kicking off at 5:30 p.m.
Each startup is expected to present a compelling case for how their solution is disrupting their industry using artificial intelligence. The judging panel will be on the lookout for innovation, scalability, real-world impact, and, of course, a clear and executable growth plan.
BeGenio enters the competition with a powerful mission, “to eliminate mathematical anxiety.”
The startup harnesses data automation to help children learn maths in a fun and easy-to-grasp way, turning a traditionally feared subject into an enjoyable learning journey.
VoxMind, another standout contender, is reimagining identity verification through voice biometrics. Their solution promises to replace the friction of traditional logins and passwords with a seamless, secure, voice-based process, an offering that could revolutionise everything from banking to customer service.
Documind is focused on a different problem altogether, unstructured data. With an AI engine designed to turn messy piles of PDFs, photos, and videos into clean, structured, searchable data, it’s tackling a real-world headache faced by countless organisations.
Also in the mix is Peppa, a Techstars ‘22 startup that delivers real-time insights to help mid-sized businesses scale efficiently. Their data-driven platform provides decision-makers with the clarity they need to grow with confidence.
The winner of the London leg will not only receive significant funding but will also earn a place in the finals in San Francisco, United States, where they will go head-to-head with other regional champions for the $100,000 grand prize.
There, they will pitch their solutions to a panel of global investors and venture capitalists, gaining exposure on a much larger scale.

This is such a refreshing lineup of startups. I love seeing real innovation happening right here in London. BeGenio’s idea of helping kids overcome maths anxiety is brilliant, and VoxMind’s voice-based identity solution could seriously change how we log in to things. Documind tackling unstructured data also hits close to home, most companies I know struggle with that. Really curious to see who takes the win and represents London on the global stage in San Francisco. Props to Datamellon for creating this kind of opportunity. We need more of this.
