Build Something AI Cannot Do Alone @ Cal

​If you have ideas you care about and want to bring them to life, join us! Engineers, designers, product thinkers, business minds, and storytellers are all welcome :)

• ​Teams: 1-4 people

• ​Capacity: First come, first serve! Spots are limited, and you'll get an email once you're approved. If plans change, please cancel your RSVP so someone on the waitlist can take your place!
