This week, FortyGuard had the honor of presenting on NVIDIA’s stage at Slush 2024, one of the world’s most influential gatherings of innovators and changemakers. Selected through the NVIDIA Inception Program, this milestone reflects the growing recognition of FortyGuard’s mission to combat urban heat with our groundbreaking Temperature Intelligence platform.
Slush provided the perfect platform for our Founder and CEO, Jay Sadiq, to share FortyGuard’s story—a journey shaped by resilience and relentless focus on addressing one of the world’s greatest climate challenges. The Temperature Intelligence platform empowers cities with real-time, actionable data to adapt to rising temperatures and create sustainable urban environments.
Our collaboration with NVIDIA has been a driving force in bringing this vision to life. The guidance and support from Wei Xiao, Director of Developer Relations for META, and Anastasia Zorina, Developer Marketing Manager, have been instrumental in amplifying FortyGuard’s mission and connecting us with critical resources. Daniel S., Head of NVIDIA Inception Program for Europe, has helped foster collaboration and growth, enabling us to refine our solutions and establish strategic partnerships.
Additionally, the insights and expertise of Troy Estes, Serge Lemonde, and Ahmed Musleh have provided invaluable support throughout our journey. Their commitment to supporting startups like ours exemplifies NVIDIA’s dedication to shaping the industries of tomorrow.
Slush 2024 wasn’t just about presenting—it was an opportunity to engage with a global ecosystem of investors, innovators, and strategic partners. The tremendous interest in tackling urban heat underscores the urgency of this challenge and the transformative potential of FortyGuard’s solutions.
We are deeply grateful to NVIDIA for empowering us to share our mission on such a significant platform and to the Slush community for their enthusiasm and engagement. While this milestone is a proud moment, it is only the beginning. We look forward to building on this momentum as we continue to innovate for a smarter, cooler, and more sustainable future.
