Multimodal Builders Night
This is a closed-door meetup for founders, CTOs, and core technical leaders building real multimodal AI products.
We are bringing together a small group of builders who are actively working on multimodal systems — from model integration and infrastructure decisions to productization and real-world deployment.
This is not a demo day or a recruiting event. The goal is high-signal conversations with people who are actually shipping.
Who Should Attend
Founders or co-founders of multimodal / AI application startups
CTOs, Tech Leads, or senior engineers owning architecture decisions
Teams at Seed to Series B stage (small teams welcome if building real products)
