AI & AI Crypto Founders & Investors Dinner — NYC
AI is creating a new generation of autonomous products and companies, while crypto provides native infrastructure for identity, ownership, payments, coordination, and verifiable execution.
Join us in New York on August 12 for a curated dinner bringing together AI and AI Crypto founders, investors, researchers, and ecosystem builders. We’ll explore what happens when autonomous agents meet onchain infrastructure, from agent commerce and payments to decentralized compute, data ownership, security, and new AI-native business models.
This gathering is part of BUIDL_QUESTS 2026, a global founder challenge centered on Autonomous Agents & Sovereignty, with participating projects connected and showcased through OpenArena.to
Come to exchange ideas, share what you’re building, meet potential collaborators and investors, and help shape the emerging AI × Crypto ecosystem.
Who should join: AI founders, Agent builders, AI Crypto and infrastructure teams, researchers, VCs, and ecosystem partners.
Curated attendance. Registration is subject to approval.amber.ac
