Ai + Plov — A Gathering for Builders and Thinkers🌙
We're cooking a big pot of plov and opening the doors.
This is a gathering for people who build things — founders, engineers, operators, creatives — and people who think seriously about where all of this is going. AI, the future of work, what it means to build something that matters right now.
No panels. No pitch decks. No lanyards. Just traditional home-cooked food and the kind of conversation that SF used to be known for.
The timing isn't random. This falls on Eid al-Fitr — a tradition of opening your home and sharing a meal after a month of reflection. That spirit is the whole idea: slow down, eat together, talk about what's real.
What's happening:
Plov and Circassian deep-fried bread — prepared fresh on the spot. Get acquainted with traditional Central Asian and Caucasian cuisine while the conversations unfold. It would be awesome if you brought a dish from your culture too — a chance to share something from your table with people who'll genuinely appreciate it.
Real conversation about AI, building companies, security, spirituality, and the future — with people who are actually doing the work.
A quiet garden and a cozy space in the Mission — one of the few spots in SF where you can sit outside and actually think.
☕Tea and coffee provided
Who this is for:
Anyone who's tired of surface-level tech events and wants to sit with people who care about the same things. All backgrounds, all traditions, all levels of technical experience. If you're curious and thoughtful, you belong here.
