Founder brief

Who should attend

Founders building at the intersection of aerospace, defense, and machine learning will find relevant ground here. The collaborative format suits technical operators and early-stage product builders eager to tackle space-focused technical problems alongside industry peers.

What happens

Activity launches at 9:00 AM on November 14 and runs through November 15. Participants form teams and build projects around the Next Frontier theme across two days of focused development, working without formal investor pitching tracks.

Who's in the room

Organized by the International Space Alliance, the gathering brings together engineers, data scientists, and sector specialists working on aerospace and AI challenges. Ash Kumra, Russel Estardo, and members of The AI Collective help guide the cohort.

How to prepare

Bring your primary development hardware, set up software environments in advance, and review recent aerospace data problems. Since no formal pitch segment is scheduled, center your effort on functional prototypes and concise technical demonstrations that communicate project value directly to fellow builders.
