The North American FutureMACH pitch competition connects visionary startups with VCs actively seeking high-potential, MACH-aligned businesses

The MACH Alliance, a not-for-profit industry body dedicated to advancing composable enterprise architecture, has revealed the winner of its inaugural North American FutureMACH Pitch Day event. The winner, BILDIT, will gain access to exclusive mentorship, brand development and introductions to potential investors, fostering growth and innovation within the MACH ecosystem.

Created by the MACH Alliance to support innovative MACH-aligned startup companies into their next phase of growth, the FutureMACH program was open to North American pre-seed, seed or Series-A startup technology companies with less than $2 million in annual recurring revenue.

An esteemed panel of elite judges from top global VC firms evaluated entrants on their market opportunity and vision, product differentiation, applications of AI and automation, and alignment with MACH’s innovation principles. These judges included:

• Gary Benerofe, general partner, Mu Ventures
• Mara Chaben, principal, Hawke Ventures
• Laura Chau, general partner, Canaan Partners
• Christina Fa, principal, NewView Capital
• Sam Thompson, founding partner, Progress Ventures
• Scot Wingo, co-founder & CEO, ReFiBuy.ai
• Ben Winn, VP content & communities, FirstMark

With deep expertise in emerging tech and market disruption, FutureMACH’s judges will provide invaluable mentorship, strategic insights, and potential access to influential investment networks to this year’s cohort of entrants. Additionally, BILDIT will receive a brand and storytelling workshop provided by The BaaS Company, a spotlight feature in a MACH Alliance webinar or insights piece, a facilitated introduction to five MACH Alliance member companies of its choosing and a discounted membership into the MACH Alliance Startup ISV category upon qualification.

BILDIT, a personalization-oriented Content Management System, was chosen for its novel approach of using AI, MACH technology and external data sources to deeply personalize shopper experiences.

“BILDIT represents the new wave of MACH-native innovators,” said Kelly Goetsch, co-founder and former president of the MACH Alliance. “They’ve solved the decades-old personalization problem in eCommerce.”
