From Oxford to building Chiron (YC X25)
Join James and Max Booth, Oxford maths alumni and co-founders of Chiron (YC X25), for an intimate fireside chat about their journey from Oxford to Y Combinator and building an AI-powered tutor.
We’ll explore how they found an idea worth pursuing, turned it into a startup, and what they learned during their time at Y Combinator in San Francisco.
We’ll also dive into the challenge behind Chiron: how do you build AI that helps students solve difficult problems without doing the thinking for them?
Come for an interactive discussion, a live demo of Chiron, and plenty of opportunities to ask questions about starting a company, building with AI, and the future of education.
This is a small-group session capped at 15 pax, so you'll have the chance to engage directly with the founders.
A few things to note:
🎟️ Limited to 15 participants — registration is required.
📱 Bring your iPad or tablet and any problem sheets you're working on to try Chiron firsthand!
🎓 STEM students are particularly encouraged to join.
