Dear Colleagues,

I am currently undertaking a research study focused on how AI integration enhances opportunity recognition and drives venture performance in entrepreneurial ventures. My work examines innovative sectors such as fintech, healthtech, edtech, as well as smart manufacturing, agri-tech, mobility, and retail tech.

To strengthen this study, I am seeking recommendations for directories, databases, or any resources that list startups and emerging companies within these industries. Additionally, I would greatly appreciate any leads or introductions to top-level executives (e.g., CEOs, CTOs, founders) who might be willing to participate in a brief survey regarding their AI strategies and experiences.

Your suggestions and shared contacts would be invaluable to advancing this research and fostering collaborative opportunities. Please feel free to comment below or send me a direct message.

Thank you very much for your support!

Best regards,

Nadeem Akhtar (PhD)
