A16Z Infra Women's Harvard + MIT Lunch
Join Christine Cheng, an Investing Partner on the a16z Infra team, for an exclusive small-group lunch with MIT and Harvard undergraduate, graduate, and PhD students interested in building companies.
Christine focuses on early-stage infrastructure and AI investments. Before joining a16z, she was a SWE at Citadel. She earned her BS and MS in electrical engineering from Stanford and previously worked on GPU architecture at NVIDIA and infrastructure automation at Intel.
The lunch is intended to build a supportive community for women who may be interested in building a company in cybersecurity or AI infrastructure. This broadly includes foundation models, core AI systems, developer tools, data systems, next-generation cloud, B2B security, and other products built for technical buyers.
Students will have an opportunity to discuss what they’re building or considering, meet peers with similar interests, and hear what Christine is seeing across the early-stage AI infrastructure and cybersecurity landscape.
No startup idea, fundraising plans, or previous company-building experience is required.
NOTE: Approval is required to attend this event.
