AWS Startups x Alpha Intelligence Capital x YZi Labs: Building and Scaling AI, from Idea to Infrastructure

​Join AWS Startups, Alpha Intelligence Capital (AIC), YZi Labs and CMU Swartz Center for Entrepreneurship for an evening built for founders, researchers, and operators across the Pittsburgh and CMU community who are building AI and AI enabling companies.

​The conversation around compute is moving fast, and founders are making real decisions about how they build, where they run, and how they raise. In this session, our founder and investor panelists will share their own perspectives on how startups and VCs are thinking about the compute landscape, what it means for how companies get built today, and where the opportunities are for startup teams.

​From AWS, we will focus on the practical: how startups can get up and running quickly and cost effectively. That includes AWS Activate benefits and credits for eligible startups, guidance from our Solutions Architects, and building AI applications with services like Amazon Bedrock, Kiro etc. which gives you access to leading foundation models through a single managed service so you can experiment and scale without managing infrastructure.

​Expect a candid discussion, practical takeaways, and time to connect with fellow founders, investors, and the AWS Startups team.

​Who should attend Founders, researchers, and operators building AI and AI enabling companies, plus investors and members of the CMU and Pittsburgh startup community.

​Agenda Founder and investor panel on how startups and VCs are navigating the current landscape, followed by a brief AWS Startups session on getting started on AWS, Activate benefits, and building with Amazon Bedrock, then open Q&A.
