Agents, Atoms, Allocators #SFTechWeek

​Agents, Atoms, Allocators
SF Tech Week 2026 · Thursday, October 8-9 · 5:00–10:00 PM · Temple San Francisco

​Three things are being built at once right now: software that acts on its own, machines that move through the world, and the capital deciding which of them gets funded. Agents, Atoms, Allocators puts all three in one room for a night.

​Three panels, one per A. Agents goes at autonomous systems as real economic actors — who pays them, who owns what they produce, and what keeps them safe. Atoms is robotics and physical AI, where the hard problem isn't the model, it's the data and the hardware underneath it. Allocators is where the money is going: how pre-IPO allocations actually work and what it takes to get into the best deals early.

​Then we go upstairs. Food, drinks, and a sunset DJ set on the rooftop with the speakers, founders, and investors who were just on stage.
