DeepMark Leads the Innovation Wave: Top Marks from the International Commission

In 2020, our journey began with a deep dive into audio watermarking research, not foreseeing the birth of a startup. Four years of significant scientific achievements led us to a pivotal realization: our work risked being shelved and unused. Motivated by our breakthroughs, we stepped out of our academic sanctuary to venture into the entrepreneurial world.

Seeking the necessary financial and mentorship resources to transition from engineers to entrepreneurs, we found our goals echoed in the Innovation Fund of Montenegro's initiative to nurture early-stage startups. We presented our vision to an international commission, through both a written application and a compelling pitch.

The commission's response was overwhelmingly positive, awarding us top marks and placing us in a leading position alongside another team. This endorsement, accompanied by a grant of €33,392.30, has been instrumental to our progress. We extend our deepest gratitude to the Fund for this invaluable support.
