AI Founders & Investors Forum
Building the Next Generation of AI
Hosted by Taisu Ventures, the AI Founders & Investors Forum is a curated gathering of AI founders, investors, and builders at the forefront of what’s next.
From agentic systems and AI-native applications to the infrastructure and new business models powering them, the forum brings together emerging companies and the investors backing the next wave of AI — creating a space to discover new technologies, ideas, and opportunities before they reach the mainstream.
See what’s being built at the frontier, meet the founders behind it, and connect with the investors looking for what’s next.
Limited capacity. Lunch will be provided for registered guests.
