The Match: Women in AI Co‑Founder Lab
Finally, a match we wanna swipe right on.
Circe, AIX Ventures, and The Tech Bros invite you to an exclusive evening focused on the most critical ingredient of a successful startup: the founding team.
Are you a technical powerhouse or an elite operator on the cusp of building something big? Join us for an evening designed to help you find your "professional better half."
We’re moving past surface-level networking. This is a highly curated, high-signal environment for women who are genuinely "founder-curious." Whether you're an ML engineer exploring a new idea or a big-tech operator ready to jump into the startup world, come for the insights and stay for the matches.
What to expect
The Dynamics Panel
Hear from early-stage founders on the messy, rewarding reality of meeting co-founders and scaling together.
Structured Matchmaking
No awkward "so what do you do?" loops. We use your background and interests to pre-match you for curated, high-intent conversations.
High-Energy Mingling
Open networking with the brightest technical women and operators in the SF AI ecosystem.
Girl dinner and wine, of course.
