In this final episode, watch as three startup CEOs make the case for why they have the best solution to solve issues using artificial intelligence and machine learning. Our panel of judges, waiting at the top of the skyscraper, will put them to the test with tough questions. Who will emerge victorious?

Today’s episode features Maria Colacurcio, CEO of Syndio Solutions, creators of a software solution to address discriminatory pay gaps; John Herlocker, CEO of Tignis, whose “machine-learning-in-a-box” helps manufacturers, utility companies and smart buildings monitor and improve their operations; and James Wu, CEO of AdaptiLab, a technical screening platform that helps companies interview potential new hires.
When they reach the top of Smith Tower, the entrepreneurs meet a judging panel that includes Flying Fish Partners co-founder Heather Redman; serial entrepreneur and Pioneer Square Labs managing director T.A. McCann; and Kyle Quinn, CTO at PACCAR.
