The unexpected ML startups solving all your problems

Two years ago I spoke at the Women of Silicon Roundabout Conference about machine learning (ML) startups and why they were a trend to watch. It occurred to me recently that I never got to share with the wider world the interesting cases we discussed, and, alas, I am not allowed to share the full recording of the talk. It also sounds like I've been remembered more for the yellow platforms I stomped around the stage with (evidence here), rather than the actual content. So I've decided to revisit the topic, re-examining some of the original cases alongside newer startups that have since come out of the woodwork. I also work at an ML startup, meaning that we sell predictions from ML models (specifically, predictions about which customers are committing fraud).
