Inspired Minds! has been acquired by US-based private equity firm, Growth Catalyst Partners.
Founded as a female-owned business in 2017 by Sarah Porter (pictured), Inspired Minds! runs large-scale AI summits, including World Summit AI and Intelligent Health, for its community of over 300,000 professionals across 160+ countries.
“As the most influential and connected AI community in the world, nothing we do is status quo,” said Sarah Porter, CEO and founder of InspiredMinds!. “It is a critical point in time for human-AI collaboration, and with the support of Growth Catalyst Partners, we are poised to supercharge the work of our community by critically focusing on equitable AI and the opportunities that this presents to our future world.”
Inspired Minds! will now become part of Growth Catalyst Partners’ Data Society Group, a platform that develops future workforces through data and AI. Porter remains at the helm and is planning to launch AI Summits in the US next year.
“InspiredMinds! is a nexus for the brightest minds, industry leaders, and key government entities driving significant insights and innovations in the field of AI and emerging technologies. We are excited to provide a platform to amplify the important work Sarah and her talented team do to empower the rapidly expanding AI universe,” said Connor Dawson, managing director of Growth Catalyst Partners.
