What Venture Capital Firms Look For When Investing in Language AI

On the investor stage at #SlatorCon 2025 — the leading global conference on artificial intelligence and language services promoted by Slator — our Managing Partner, Simone Cremonini, illustrated the operating model of #Alkemia, underlining how we constantly encourage the companies in our portfolio to think outside the box and evaluate M&A opportunities to support continuous growth. The case history of Contents is emblematic in this sense: In 2021, on the occasion of the Series A round led by Alkemia’s Sinergia Venture Fund, the startup operated with a traditional advertising model based on online dwell time. Today, it is a content orchestration platform that integrates advanced linguistic models to generate texts, audio, video, and animations, optimizing workflows and ensuring consistency with the brand identity. “We liked the skill mix and also the technology that they developed,” – voiced Simone Cremonini on the #Slatorcom stage telling about #Contents – “but we told them: ‘Listen, guys, you have a good mix of team and technologies and solutions. Why don’t you pivot the company and use the money that you want to raise to develop a solution to sell to enterprises?'”
