Founder brief
Who should attend
Founders building in machine learning and applied AI will find value here, especially technical leaders interested in turning complex academic research into functional agentic workflows. It suits those seeking technical depth rather than general startup networking.
What happens
Attendees gather at 16:30 before a presentation starting at 17:00. The schedule turns to group discussion, networking, and a Paper2Agent pizza party starting at 18:00.
Who's in the room
Speaker Jiacheng Miao, a postdoctoral fellow at the Stanford Institute of Human-Centered AI, shares his work alongside hosts from Snorkel AI and Francesca Vera. Local AI researchers and applied machine learning practitioners comprise the crowd.
How to prepare
Review current methods for extracting structured data and reasoning workflows from scientific literature before arriving. Bring specific technical questions about agent reliability to make the most of the open discussion and casual networking over food.
