Next NorthGate: in Person MeetUp San Francisco
Night of Greg(s)
In-person
Tuesday, Feb 25 · 6:00–9:00 PM
San Francisco (Dogpatch)
Hosted at elbow
AI is collapsing entire phases of work. Pre-production. Customer discovery. Early validation. What used to take weeks can now happen in hours if you know where to apply leverage.
This night is about real systems doing real work, shared in person.
Gregor Lakner is a VFX Supervisor and creative technologist with decades of experience across feature films, television, and emerging media. Drawing on a background in computer science and cinematic production, he developed an AI-driven prototype system that transforms a script into a structured shot list, storyboard templates, and a first-pass editorial timeline, compressing early-stage project development from weeks into hours.
Greg Greiner is the founder of Woven, an AI platform that helps optimize the customer journey through proactive conversational campaigns. Woven helps companies move beyond one-way marketing to create true dialogue, learning why customers aren’t converting, retaining, or adopting, while delivering personalized education, messaging, offers, and recommendations.
Greg brings over a decade of experience building products at the intersection of commerce and technology. He previously served as Chief Product Officer at Bolt, helped scale the company to a multi-billion-dollar valuation, led product for Uber for Business, and co-founded Bob’s Watches. He’ll demo how Woven turns scaled outreach into meaningful two-way conversations and drives measurable business impact by uncovering the “why” behind customer behavior.
Entry: Building access is managed. A security guard will be at the door to help guests enter and exit.
