Angel Investors accelerated Silo.AI's growth.   Last week we read about the largest AI startup deal in Europe in a decade when AMD acquired M&M Growth Partner's (MMGP) Portfolio Company Silo AI for $665mn. FiBAN congratulates Silo AI on its outstanding performance! MMGP was in 2018 the first external private equity investors and board members in Silo AI after the founding team started in 2017. Great job! MMGP’s Partners, Harry Brade, and Mikko Leino, are also FiBAN members and long-term FiBAN activists (e.g., Harry and Mikko coordinate the FiBAN HC sector, and Harry is a former FiBAN board member).   "It has been a privilege for https://mmgp.fi/ to contribute and be part of Silo AI success story since its early years spearheaded by Peter Sarlin, Tero Ojanperä, and all Silonauts during the ongoing AI revolution! "says Harry Brade, Partner of M&M Growth Partners.
