​Startup Pitch Night at AWS Builder Loft

​The startup pitch night you've been waiting for. Not a build sprint —just builders putting real products and tools on screen, explaining how they work, and sharing what they learned.

​On Wednesday, August 19, HackerSquad and The Builder Collective are bringing the community together at AWS Builder Loft in San Francisco for a fast-moving evening of pitch, conversation, and connections with the people doing the work.

​What to Expect

• ​Curated pitches and demos from AI developers, startups, and product teams

• ​Practical context from each presenter about what they built and why

• ​Time for questions and conversations between demos

• ​Networking with engineers, founders, and other technical builders

​The presenter lineup will be announced as it is confirmed. If you are interested in demoing, tell us what you would like to show in the registration form.

​Schedule

• ​5:30 PM — Doors, check-in, and networking

• ​6:00 PM — Welcome from Adam Chan and HackerSquad

• ​6:15 PM — Curated AI demos begin

​Who Should Register

​This event is for developers, AI engineers, technical founders, product builders, and people who want to see what others are actually shipping with AI.

​Come to discover new tools and products, meet the builders behind them, and leave with a sharper view of what is possible right now.
