Floating Tech Talk #4: The Stack Founders
AI Foundry's Floating Tech Talks
Last summer we put AI founders on a boat with silent disco headphones and it worked better than expected. So we're turning it into a series, in collaboration with some of Amsterdam's top AI companies.
The format stays the same. One speaker on the deck. One real engineering or founder story. Everyone listening through wireless headphones, open deck, Amsterdam sliding past on both sides. The speaker comes through directly, so you actually catch the punchline instead of losing it to the engine or a passing party boat.
We don't care who you are. We care what you're building.
The room is for founders and engineers actually shipping things, and the conversation works better when that's the only thing in the air.
This edition features two speakers who have been building for some time already:
↳Maarten Stolk: Co-founder & CEO of Deeploy, AI governance software. Deeploy gives organisations control over their AI systems, including agentic AI, with built-in oversight, traceability and AI Act compliance. Before Deeploy, Maarten co-founded Enjins, AI engineering for the energy industry.
↳Lennard Zwart: Founder and CEO of Ascending AI, a company developing AI solutions that give companies and individuals control over their knowledge and freedom to choose. Built ventures across cloud infrastructure, cyber security and finance.
What's on board:
Two speakers, two stories, headphones for everyone
Beer and pizza
Founders, engineers, the occasional curious duck
Networking before and after the talk
When: 16/07 | 18:00 - 20:00
Partners: Deeploy and Ascending AI.
Spots are limited because the boat hasn't gotten any bigger since last time.
The AI Foundry — building Amsterdam's AI community, one slightly wobbly conversation at a time.
