SF founders, it was amazing connecting with each of you getting the scoop on what you’re building at our Founder Friends #SFTechWeek event tonight! Thank you for making it such an incredible evening! We can’t wait to catch up with you all again soon! A huge thanks to Tara Viswanathan for the inspiring fireside chat. Your insights were pure gold. And of course, a massive thanks to our hosts FutureHouse, our friends at Zendesk for Startups, Escalon Services, LLC, Singapore Global Network, Mercury, AWS Startups, and Rippling for putting this together with us and making this possible, and of course TECH WEEK by a16z for helping to bring the SF founder community together!

Thanks to those who attended our Networking Lunch & Learn Event for SF #TechWeek with co-hosts Garuda Ventures & Recall Capital ?? ?? ?? One of the highlights was our panel discussion between early-stage AI founders Pranav Piyush, Claudia Natasia, Mark Chen, and Stephanie Soderborg. We touched on what motivated these entrepreneurs to take the leap, their strategies for building teams and products, and their insights into navigating the fundraising process for seed and pre-seed rounds in this new AI paradigm ?? Some key takeaways: ?? Build with your community: let your 'fans' shape your product ?? Scale smart: use AI to supercharge your org & revops ?? Co-founder gold: empathy is the ultimate game-changer for this all-important relationship Major shoutout to our sponsor Zendesk for Startups for helping bring this fantastic gathering to life. Cheers to many more productive and inspiring #TechWeek conversations in the future ?? TECH WEEK by a16z

Last week was SF #TechWeek, which may seem strange because every week in SF is tech week! Nevertheless, it offered a great chance to gather the community together for fun conversation. Garuda Ventures, together with our friends NextView Ventures and Recall Capital, co-hosted a Networking Lunch & Learn Event. The afternoon featured Stephanie Palmeri in conversation with Pranav Piyush, Claudia Natasia, Mark Chen, and Stephanie Soderborg, each founders of early stage startups leveraging AI to deliver value to their customers. They went through what motivated them to start their companies, how they identified the early product roadmap, advice for fundraising, and more. It was an informative and refreshingly candid discussion in front of a packed house! Big thanks to our sponsor Zendesk for Startups, and special shoutout to Rachel Hodes for her efforts organizing! Looking forward to many more ?? TECH WEEK by a16z
