Developed in collaboration with Michigan Central and Google's Gemini team, MCX was an experimental MVP platform designed to help startups discover regional opportunities more efficiently by leveraging AI to reduce friction in the onboarding and matchmaking process.
 

The platform concept was designed to enable startups to upload unstructured assets like pitch decks and company overviews, which Gemini’s AI parsed into standardized, verifiable profiles. These profiles formed the foundation of a dynamic matchmaking system that was intended to surface relevant opportunities—like potential partnerships, funding sources, grants, and talent—based on real-time regional data.
