Llama Lounge 21 at Capgemini & Techcrunch Disrupt Partner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another sold-out Llama Lounge #21 \u2014 we turned away more than 900 applicants due to fire code capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This edition was hosted at Capgemini\u2019s Applied Innovation Exchange<\/a> in San Francisco, in partnership with my close friend Josh Baillon<\/a>. The evening brought together a curated mix of AI founders, VCs, and corporate AI leaders, representing the intersection where innovation meets enterprise demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten cutting-edge startups were selected to demo their work, while two global corporations \u2014 Airbus and Altria \u2014 joined as \u201creverse-pitch\u201d participants, sharing their AI challenges and collaboration needs directly with the startup community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The night was expertly emceed by Samuel J. Cummings III<\/a> from Gen AI, who guided the fast-paced lineup of founders and pitches. Photo by Erick Davidson<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
