The Future of Work Mixer + Open Demos: Worktech, Robotics & Healthcare
Deadline for startup pitches: Saturday 10th January, 23:59 PT
Decision emails: Monday, 12th January
Join us in downtown San Francisco for a social mixer + open demos! + fireside chat with Craig Gieringer, who'll share how he amassed $300 million seed round with his startup Massed Compute.
This is the "origin story" edition.
We'd love to hear your "why" — not just your pitch.
We are a community focused on building (and disrupting!) the future of work — sharing and promoting innovation in work tech, agentic AI, and robotics so that humans and AI can happily cohabitate in the labor market and build a wonderful economy together.
This time around, we are putting together a social mixer.
This isn’t your standard pitch night.
This gathering is for founders, operators, investors, and builders who want to shape how humans and AI collaborate in the workplace of tomorrow.
It's a tiny festival of bold, cross-disciplinary innovation, surrounded by art and music (and good wines!).
It’s your chance to connect authentically, get feedback for your project, talk to investors in powerful, intimate one-on-one conversations, and see where the future of work is headed.
The Demos
We will open a number of demo tables; if you'd like to pitch, just choose the ticket type "Pitching Startup" (so that we can print the label for your table) and bring your laptop with you! It is that simple.
