Conversations with Technologists: Winter Salon
We're bringing together ambitious technologists and builders for our final London salon of the year! 🤩
We're excited to hear from three technologists, each sharing a different perspective on building:
Ayooluwa Odemuyiwa on her experience building AethexAI, a voice AI company for Africa.
Kolade Afode on his side-project graveyard, lessons from unfinished projects, and why he keeps returning to Cratebase.
Daniel Adewunmi on choosing problems worth solving, the difference between foundational and optimisation problems, and how to find work worth dedicating years to.
Following the talks, expect thoughtful questions, lively conversations, and plenty of opportunities to connect with other curious, ambitious technologists.

What is Conversations with Technologists?
Conversations with Technologists is a cosy, semi-formal salon where curious technologists share what they're building, learning, questioning, and excited about.
We believe being a technologist is about more than writing code. It's about being an agentic person who uses technology to create the things they want to see in the world.
We bring together people from different disciplines who share a curiosity about technology, a desire to make things happen, and a generosity of ideas.
Come with:
Ideas you're exploring or things you're building, from software and hardware to entirely new ventures
Curiosities, experiments, and discoveries you've made recently
Questions about technology, building products, and the world we're creating
A willingness to share what you know and learn from others
Our previous conversations have explored AI, music and transport infrastructure, building products, and the ways technology can help us live and relate to one another more meaningfully.
Some members from previous sessions have also gone on to turn their ideas into products at our Build Sessions, which we demoed at our Demo Day.
