​AI Automation Agency Meetup

​Location: AI Start Academy — San Francisco Mission District
Time: 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM
Format: In-person meetup + networking
Audience: Founders, builders, and operators running or launching AI automation agencies

​About this meetup

​Come show what you've built with AI.

​Founders building AI automation agencies, consultants deploying real systems, and technical operators implementing automation inside businesses.

​Bring a build — an automation, an agent, a product, a workflow that saves you hours — and show it to the room. Or come with nothing and watch what everyone else is shipping.

​This meetup is for the people actually doing the work.

​What happens in the room:

• ​Short, informal demos. Screens, not slides.

• ​Useful tools, latest news, and what's actually working right now.

• ​How people are making money with AI: inside their own business, as a product or startup, as a service for clients, or selling it to other companies.

• ​Straight talk on pricing, stacks (n8n, agents, RAG, Claude Code), and real client work.

• ​It's not a pitch event and it's not a lecture. It's a room of people who build, comparing notes.

​AI Start Academy graduates: this is your room. Come back to school, show what you've built since the program, and meet the people coming up behind you.

​We’re bringing together a small group of builders in San Francisco to exchange ideas, share wins and failures, and discuss what’s actually working in the market.

​This is not a pitch event.
This is a founder / builder room.

​What we’ll discuss

​• AI automation agency business models
• Client acquisition (what channels are working)
• Packaging AI services into scalable offers
• Tools and stacks (n8n, agents, voice AI, RAG, etc.)
• Pricing models and retainers
• Case studies of real deployments
• Avoiding the “AI demo agency” trap

​Who should attend

​• Founders of AI automation agencies
• Consultants implementing AI workflows for clients
• Developers building automation systems for businesses
• Operators inside companies leading automation initiatives
• Technical founders exploring launching an AI services firm

​If you're building in this space — you'll meet your peers here.

​Schedule:

​6:30 PM — Arrival & networking

​7:00 PM — Founder intros / demos & open Discussion:
who you are, what you're building, what you've learnt, what questions you have.
