Agenda:
The Room for Founders Building the Future with AI
Join us for an evening with founders, builders, and curious minds who are actively shaping the future with AI. This gathering isn’t about hype or headlines — it’s about sharing what we’re building, how we’re building it, and learning from each other through real conversations and experiences.
Whether you’re in the early stages of building with LLMs, launching your first AI-powered product, or iterating on infrastructure, this event is designed to bring together people who are solving real problems with AI and doing the work it takes to get there.
🎯 What You’ll Experience
Product Showcases from Real AI Founders
We’re inviting a handful of early-stage founders to demo their AI products. These aren’t polished keynote presentations — they’re in-the-weeds, “here’s what we shipped, what broke, and what worked” sessions. Each founder will walk us through their product, their decision-making process, and the challenges they’re navigating in real time.
Networking Designed for Builders
We’re creating space for intentional conversations — not just business cards and small talk. You’ll meet other founders, designers, PMs, engineers, and early adopters who are in different phases of their AI journey. Whether you’re looking to jam on ideas, explore a collaboration, or simply hear what others are working on, this is the space to do it.
Chai & Conversations That Continue
Throughout the evening, enjoy Chai, and a cozy setup that encourages people to stick around, share stories, and have the kind of hallway conversations that often turn into something bigger.
🕒 Agenda
6:00 PM – Check-in + Welcome Chai
Arrive, settle in, and grab a cup of chai while connecting with others as they arrive.
6:30 PM – Product Showcases Begin
Founders take the stage for short, focused demos of what they’re building. Each demo includes a quick walkthrough, what tech they’re using, and what problems they’re solving.
7:30 PM – Open Networking
Founders who demoed will be available for deeper discussions, and open networking begins. Grab Chai, meet people, and dive into conversations with others working on similar problems.
8:00 PM – Closing & Carry Forward
We’ll wrap up officially, but feel free to stick around and continue connecting if the ideas are still flowing.
If you’re building something in AI and would like to demo or be part of the panel, feel free to reach out. We’re keeping the format curated and high-signal to ensure every moment adds value for the folks in the room.
Registering through eChai helps you see who else is attending, so you can reconnect with familiar faces or discover new ones you’d like to meet.
