This is an especially meaningful episode of Making It Big. Why? Because it's my last episode. I know. In the spirit of keeping a diversity of voices at the helm of this show, I'm handing over the mic to your new host, Georgette Pierre, an Emmy Award-winning producer, multimedia personality, and voice actor who graduated with a masters in integrated marketing communication in 2009 and spent a lot of time at WERS.
Mediahuis Ventures, the venture capital arm of Independent News & Media owner Mediahuis, is investing in artificial intelligence coaching start-up Bunch.
Along with investment partners M13 and Atlantic Labs, Mediahuis will inject €1m into Bunch to help improve international growth plans for its new AI leadership coaching product, an iPhone app.
The app is used by millennial managers to get personalised, two-minute daily coaching, according to a statement from Mediahuis.
New York and Berlin-based Bunch launched the app last November.
Already almost 20,000 people are using the app, which is growing 7pc week-on-week.
The app takes into account users’ leadership style, the challenges they’re facing with their team, and the skills they want to build.
