Factory Reset v1.2
The Westly Group and J.P. Morgan are excited to host our second installment of Factory Reset, a new gathering series for founders, engineers, investors, and operators rebooting how the world gets built, moved, and powered.
San Francisco has a startup community for everything except the people rebuilding the physical world. Factory Reset is here to change that. We're excited to build this community to trade ideas, make intros that lead to pilots, share who’s hiring for specific roles, shoot some pool, and unwind over drinks. Our first event was a success and we’re looking forward to running it back again.
This time we’re focusing on all things Physical AI. We’ll have demos & presentations from two stellar teams building within this realm:
Rae Jeong, Founder & CEO, Maneva - video-to-action AI platform for factory floors to reduce machine downtime, improve production quality, and protect workers.
Deepak Mishra, Co-Founder, Graphon AI - AI platform that leverages graph architecture to understand relationships across multi-modal data (video, audio, images, and text) for applications in physical industries.
We're keeping this event invite-only but we appreciate your interest in attending. Please feel free to request an invite and someone will be in touch about your place on the waitlist.
