VC Unfiltered Episode 12 — Live from Lightning Round IV

We kick off with a high-energy panel featuring experts from 2045 Ventures, Atos, TCA LA, and Steamwork Ventures. They dive into how artificial intelligence is disrupting healthcare, enterprise, and climate tech — and where its limits still leave opportunity.
Next, four standout startups pitch live in front of the judges. Hear from Playmaker, automating sports sponsorships, Knowledge, redefining human-first sales, Cracked Gaming, bringing competitive gaming to everyday players, and Rex, an AI alternative to traditional ad agencies.
