Frontier AI Session — Google Deepmind Startups
Build & Scale with Google DeepMind — Meet Matt Ridenour
Apply for an exclusive one-hour founder session with Matt Ridenour, Head of Startups at Google DeepMind, during SF Tech Week in San Francisco.
Matt sits at the center of Google DeepMind’s startup ecosystem, working directly with founders building with Gemini, AI Studio and Google’s latest AI technologies. Before his current role, he led accelerator programs for early-stage AI companies across the US as Head of Accelerator & Startup Ecosystem at Google, and previously spent more than six years at IDEO, working with founders, innovation and new ventures.
This is a rare opportunity for a small group of Nordic founders to discuss building and scaling an AI-native company, Gemini and Google’s AI ecosystem, product strategy, accessing Google DeepMind resources, and what Matt is seeing among some of the most ambitious AI startups right now.
As part of the visit, selected founders will also get access to Google’s broader SF Tech Week startup programming and sessions, creating additional opportunities to meet the Google team, learn about the latest AI technologies and connect with the wider startup ecosystem.
