An Evening at the Farm: Sunday Off-Grid Gathering
Because the future is built with dirty boots and clean code.
Huge thanks to our host Daniel, founder & friend, for opening up his incredible farm for a day of unplugged conversations and real connection.

What’s This?
A curated gathering of funders and founders building at the bleeding edge of AI, deep tech, robotics, and agtech—where conversations don’t just stay in the cloud…
They compost into something real.
This is not a panel-pitchy kind of thing.
It’s unfiltered, unplugged, and deeply hands-on.
Think: horses, sheep, hand tools, and high-caliber minds—on a ranch.
Why Come?
🪵 Unplug & Connect
No stuffy conference rooms. Just open air, fresh food, and grounded dialogue.
🥕 Farm-to-Table (Literally)
Harvest, cook, and eat dinner together—before AI does it for us.
🔥 Fireside Pitches
Bring your sharpest ideas for 5-minute lightning rounds. No decks required.
🥃 Bonfire Networking
Talk shop over whiskey, wine, and wildly ambitious ideas.
Who Should Attend?
✅ VCs & Investors in AI, robotics, deep tech, agtech
✅ Founders building autonomous systems, sustainable tech, and future food
✅ Roboticists & Engineers pushing automation forward
✅ AgTech & FoodTech Innovators redefining farming with code & circuits
Invite-only. No tourists. Only the curious, the committed, and the builders.
