BGA Speaker Series: AI Integration with Operations with Bryce Gilleland
BGA presents a speaker series for deep tech founders and builders.
The Berkeley Gateway Accelerator Speaker Series puts experienced operators and investors in a small room with the people building what’s next. Every session is invite-only and capped at 20 people, so there is real room for questions, honest conversation, and one-on-one time with the speaker. It’s built for founders, builders, and aspiring entrepreneurs working on deep tech.
This session: AI Integration with Operations
Speaker: Bryce Gilleland
Bryce is a General Partner at the Cal Innovation Fund, a Berkeley-based venture fund that works to make venture capital more equitable by connecting education, innovation, and entrepreneurship. He began his career at Pacific Gas and Electric in San Francisco, spent many years in the energy sector, and then moved into venture capital after earning his MBA at Berkeley Haas.
Bryce has built AI training and support material and has helped friends get started with it. In this session, he’ll focus on bringing AI into how a company operates, including process automation and streamlining.
If you’re a pre-seed founder running lean, this is a practical look at using AI to automate and streamline your operations, from an investor who works closely with founders.
Who should attend: Founders, builders, and aspiring entrepreneurs working on deep tech. Space is limited to 20, so please request to join and we’ll confirm your spot.
