SCALE at GMI — Kickoff Day

​About the Event

​Kickoff Day marks the public launch of the Scale at GMI startup program. This event introduces the inaugural cohort of AI startups joining the program and publicly associates them with GMI Cloud as they begin their journey toward production and scale. Founders will be announced, spotlighted, and followed from Day 1 — creating visibility, accountability, and momentum from the start.

​In town for HumanX? We welcome AI founders, operators, and ecosystem builders attending the HumanX AI Conference to join us! This is a great opportunity to connect with the broader AI community and meet the next wave of innovative startups while you are in the area.
