Founder brief

Who should attend

Academic founders, technical entrepreneurs, and deep tech operators commercializing research around LLMs, hardware, and physical AI will benefit most from attending. It is especially worthwhile for teams seeking relationships with specialized robotics funds.

What happens

Starting at 18:00, participants gather for a free evening mixer focused on moving research from lab to market. There are no formal pitch sessions, leaving the time open for direct introductions and discussions on technical collaboration.

Who's in the room

Researchers from BAIR, Sky Computing Lab, and other Berkeley units mingle alongside academic founders, venture capitalists, and representatives from corporate robotics and hardware investment funds.

How to prepare

Formulate a concise summary of your research or startup traction that explains technical breakthroughs without relying on slides. Bring clear questions regarding fundraising timelines and partnership requirements to make the most of unstructured networking.
