Dream Boldly: Investors + Founders Rooftop & Global Launch Event
Experience the incredible future of AI business building with the global debut of Amiara, a $10k pitch competition, structured connection experiences, and an exclusive investor lounge all set against a breathtaking sunset view of the Texas Capitol building.
This room is for you if:
You're a founder with a business under $100m in revenue
You're an investor actively deploying capital
You're an elite operator who's helped build or exit something meaningful and you're itching to do it again
You're a creator with a big vision for what your business could become
You love what AI is doing to the world right now and you want to be around people shaping it
About That $10k Pitch Competition
You'll be able to sign up for the $10k pitch prize as you arrive (the earlier the better, cut off is at 6:30pm SHARP) for our contest.
We'll take the top 5 or so, you'll get 60 seconds to pitch and we'll have 3 judges that can ask follow up questions to pick the winner who will get $10k capital for their company - in front of a room full of experienced investors.
