Applied AI for Entrepreneurs
Bring your laptop and a Claude account. This is an interactive session designed for participation, experimentation, and real-time collaboration.
Entrepreneurship and innovation are entering a new era, one where artificial intelligence is no longer reserved for large technology companies or technical teams. The businesses that learn to apply AI practically today will define the next generation of growth, efficiency, and competitive advantage.
Join Escape Velocity for an immersive, hands-on AI experience designed for founders, entrepreneurs, operators, and business leaders who want to understand how AI can be integrated into real business workflows immediately.
This practical working session focuses on applied AI use cases that can help businesses operate smarter, move faster, reduce friction, improve decision-making, enhance customer engagement, and unlock new operational capacity.
We’ll explore:
Practical AI tools for daily business operations
Workflow automation strategies
AI-assisted research, marketing, communication, and planning
Decision-making frameworks powered by AI
Real examples that founders and companies are implementing today
How startups and enterprise teams alike can leverage AI for growth and operational advantage
Whether you are just beginning to explore AI or already experimenting with advanced tools, you’ll leave with actionable strategies and hands-on experience you can immediately apply to your business.
Following the workshop, guests are invited to continue the evening at The Hartford Club for a private AI Happy Hour — an elevated gathering designed to bring together founders, executives, investors, technologists, and innovation leaders shaping what’s next.
Expect:
Applied AI discussions and demonstrations
Investor and operator networking
