Humanoid Happy Hour
A relaxed drink the night before Humanoids Summit Silicon Valley.
If you’re in town for the week and want to meet some of the other people working on humanoids, physical AI and robotics, come and join us. No talks, no pitches. Just a good room and a decent bar.
Hosted by Akkar, with OMNI Ventures and OPTIM.
Who’s in the room
Founders, engineers, operators and investors in humanoids, physical AI and robotics, most of them in town for the Summit on December 1 and 2 in San Mateo. We’re keeping it small, so registrations are approved by hand.
