Founder brief

Who should attend

Founders building in AI, machine learning, and SaaS who want visibility with investors or are targeting enterprise workflows will find the discussions relevant. Early teams looking to pitch their customer-facing or internal agent solutions can apply ahead of the October 9 deadline.

What happens

Attendees gather starting at 5:00 PM for dinner and initial conversations, followed by opening remarks at 6:00 PM. A panel covering technical challenges, funding, and growth runs from 6:20 to 7:20 PM, leading directly into a pitch competition for four to five teams before closing social networking.

Who's in the room

Host Ellen Wang of WeShine and Bernie K welcome a speaker lineup featuring angel investor Paul Fahn, Roger Rappoport from Snell & Wilmer, Austin Cai of XTrace.ai, Adam Cai of Numix, Ning Zhang of Gloco.ai, and Yuxin Chen of Viiraa.inc, with additional support from sponsor langrenusfund.

How to prepare

Teams selected for the pitch competition should distill their value proposition and enterprise traction into a tight presentation tailored to a crowded five-team slot. Those joining primarily to network should arrive during the dinner hour ready to discuss enterprise deployment hurdles and funding milestones.
