SLUSH is the quintessential “founder-first” event: a curated environment that maximizes quality meetings with investors, partners, and product operators. For Icarus, it’s the ideal arena to discuss R&D roadmaps (ASR/TTS, healthcare-grade NLU, intelligent routing) and trials with on-prem LLMs for sensitive contexts. The goal is to forge co-development agreements and find infrastructure partners to scale voice reliability and costs. In parallel, discussions are being cultivated with deep-tech VCs focused on unitary adoption and sustainability metrics (ARPA, gross margin, payback). The expected outcome: memoranda of collaboration on technical trials, introductions to partners’ clinical portfolios, and a network of product advisors for the most advanced developments.
