The AI Founder Playbook: Physical AI & Robotics
Invitation only · 15 seats · Approval required
For leaders of Series A+ startups building proprietary AI models, with a select number of seats reserved for investors.
This is a roundtable, not a panel: everyone at the table is welcome to bring opinions.
Dinner with a curated table of 15+ AI founders, operators, and investors.
Exceptional wines, thoughtfully curated cuisine, and deep conversations.
House rules:
Off the record. No slides, no pitches, no recording. Come with a point of view.
Why:
AI compresses engineering cycles from months to days. The playbooks most of us learned are quietly going out of date, and the new ones are being written right now, by the people in rooms like this one.
