​The latest wave of advances in AI has grabbed the world’s attention, notably with performance surpassing humans at several key measures. From the perspective of solutionists and builders in Silicon Valley, what can be done? The space for foundational models is packed with well capitalized players. The headlines are creating a sense of urgency to innovate within enterprises. But the vast parts of the global economy isn’t even digitized, much less already incorporating AI. 

​We believe the more immediate gain is to focus on distributing AI. This is especially true for industry-specific verticals, where enterprise use cases require tailored solutions. Incumbents often lack the agility or ready know-how to develop AI-enabled solutions in-house in a timely manner. There is immense opportunity to build and capture these markets.

​What are the blockers to do so? We propose a series of dining groups focused on connecting talent and capital to critical verticals insiders, such as healthcare, defense, and supply chain, to name a few.

​Our next dinner in August 2023 will be on the Healthcare vertical. AI can assist with diagnosis, note-taking, patient check-ins, health logs, consultations, and so much more. We invite you to join us as we explore how AI can turn a new page in this trillion-dollar industry.
