About this Event
More than 50% of AI startups were abandoned after the proof-of-concept stage by the end of last year. This tells us one thing: only the strongest survive.
While founders are grinding and investors are crossing their fingers, betting on new startups, we’re bringing the best of the best into one room to talk about AI with no fluff.
Not a lecture. Not a panel. And not a pitch night.
Today, spitting facts:
Jason H. Lu, Founder and CEO of Flyby Robotics. Raised $4.6M in a pre-seed funding round. Built a team of talent from Yale and NASA. Closed a deal with Palantir. Supplies to U.S. military clients. Flyby Robotics has achieved 7-figure revenue.
What’s going to happen:
- We'll talk about how traction is actually created
- What to focus on when hype is everywhere and conviction is rare
- What it takes to build in frontier categories
- The criteria of revenue-oriented AI startups
- How to build with the right team
- What approach to take when it comes to deals and strategic partnerships
Who this discussion is for:
- Founders building AI companies with real commercial ambition
- Investors searching for signal in an overhyped market
- Engineers working on hard tech and frontier AI categories
We believe you have something to say.
Join the discussion with Jason. Spread your wisdom, ask questions, let others learn from you and leave the room as a new person.
