Santa Barbara | Claude Code for Founders
An official Claude Community Event — meet others building with Claude, and keep thinking.
Santa Barbara has the talent.
It's just been scattered — heads down, building solo, waiting for a reason to gather.
This is the reason.
For one night, we're pulling everyone into one room — founders, builders, AI-native operators, and the people backing them — across every vertical. If you're building something here, this is your room.
🙏 Thank you to our sponsor, Mercury, for making this night possible — banking built for founders and the companies they're building.
What goes down:
⚡ Live builds & real demos — pushing AI past what it's supposed to do, with the how-tos and best practices people usually keep to themselves
🔥 Fireside with the investors funding AI right now — what they're backing, and what makes them pass
🤝 The room itself — the people worth knowing in this town, finally in one place
Want to demo?
If one of these is you, raise your hand:
🚀 Something you're building — a startup in any vertical, doing something interesting or impactful.
🧠 A setup worth stealing — agentic loops, agents that work, powerful skills and tools, best practices, evals and verification.
📈 A business run on AI — GTM, sales, ops, hiring, wired into how the company actually runs
