AI Tinkerers Singapore — Build and demo to Joe Heitzeberg, founder of AI Tinkerer -
This meetup is for active builders working with foundation models and generative AI. We focus on working code, live demos, and implementation details. Pitch decks stay home.
We’re scheduling this while AI Tinkerers founder Joe Heitzeberg is in Singapore (Oct 9–12) to connect him with local builders and ecosystem leads.

Special Guest
Featuring: Joe Heitzeberg (Founder, AI Tinkerers). He’ll be in the room meeting builders and reviewing demos.
Joe founded AI Tinkerers to accelerate active builders.
AI Tinkerers is selective by design: every attendee is screened as an active builder. This keeps the signal high: no pitches, no fluff, just people building real systems and sharing what they are learning. The network runs on a platform I built to support the community defining the industry’s pace.
Joe also leads AITFund, an early-stage fund backing exceptional founders from the AI Tinkerers network and the broader technical AI community. The fund reflects the same belief behind the community: the best way to understand where AI is going is to work closely with the people building it.
Joe's entrepreneurial background includes scaling Crowd Cow to $50M+ revenue and founding companies acquired by Upwork and Whitepages. As President of Madrona Venture Labs, Joe launched Mighty AI, acquired by Uber, and ReplyYes, acquired by Nordstrom. Joe is an LP in 7+ funds and advise early-stage AI startups.
