Yet another amazing event in San Francisco for hundreds of AI startup founders, venture capitalists, corporate ventures, and corporate AI leaders who wanted to partner with top AI startups.
I heard that people have been selling Llama Lounge tickets on a secondary market (don’t do that, as they are non-transferrable) and some startups tout that getting a demo slot is akin to being at a top accelerator, as they have to win the slot out of 700 submissions and growing.
Thank you SAP Labs in San Francisco for hosting our latest event in early Oct 2024. We had access to three floors, and amazing food spread, state of the art audio visual and a rooftop balcony with a few of gorgeous San Francisco.
