Startups for AI x Science @ ICML2026
Join us for a small, relaxed breakfast before the second day of ICML, bringing together founders, researchers and builders working at the intersection of AI and science.
The theme is early-stage startups applying AI to science. We want to discuss when to make the leap from research to company-building, what tools and infrastructure are still missing, and which commercial models are defensible as AI capabilities rapidly improve.
Come to meet potential cofounders and collaborators over coffee and breakfast, in a curated room of people exploring ambitious ideas.
Hosted by McClain Anton, Will Bolton, Jonathan Carter and Tim Reichelt, Encode: AI for Science Fellows. Encode is a Pillar VC initiative powered by ARIA and DSIT.
