From Munich to the Silicon Valley: Founding an AI Startup in SF with Anna-Julia Storch

​From Munich to the Valley: Founding an AI Startup in Silicon Valley 🌉

​Join us for an evening with Anna Julia Storch, a CDTM alumna and is now building Dryft in the Silicon Valley. 🚀 She'll share what it's really like to build an AI startup in the Valley: the highs, the hard lessons, and what's different about founding a company there versus in Germany. Dryft raised a $5M round led by General Catalyst to build artificial intelligence that mimics, optimizes, and automates complex human decisions in manufacturing operations. Also, Anna-Julia actually met her Dryft co-founder Leonie Freisinger right here at CDTM.

​Anna-Julia will talk through her startup journey with Dryft and unpack what's happening in the Valley right now that's especially relevant for students thinking about building something of their own. 💡 There will be real stories, practical insights, and an actual view of the ecosystem from someone living it.

​Join us later for some drinks and refreshments and meet CDTM students.

​Who it's for: Open to the CDTM community and also the wider student community in Munich: all students curious about startups, AI, or the Silicon Valley playbook are welcome. This is a great opportunity to get to know current CDTM students and get a taste of the community if you are thinking of applying!
