Bruins in AI: Fireside Chat with Kevin Henrikson, frmr VP of Eng at Instacart & stealth founder

​BCV is teaming up with the UCLA Engineering Alumni Association to host another Bruins in AI meetup at our office in SF.

​This time, we'll be joined by fellow Bruin, Kevin Henrikson, former VP of Engineering at Instacart and currently a stealth founder.

​Kevin is a builder and operator currently developing AI solutions, specifically voice AI. Previously, he co-founded Acompli, which Microsoft acquired and launched as Outlook Mobile. He then led large engineering organizations at Microsoft and Instacart. A UCLA alumnus, Cirrus Vision Jet pilot, Kevin writes the Founder Mode newsletter https://foundermode.kit.com/ and co-hosts a podcast by the same name: https://www.youtube.com/@wearefoundermode.

​The chat will be moderated by Mihir Mathur, UCLA CS'19, who's an AI Product Manager at Netflix.

​If you're UCLA-affiliated and in AI or the Bay Area startup ecosystem, come join us! Feel free to bring a Bruin friend but please let us know ahead of time so we can manage space!
