Happy Hour: Meet AI Founders, Investors and Operators in the DMV community

You have watched enough webinars. What you have not done is talk to the people building in this city. No stage, no slides, no panel. A short opening, structured introductions so nobody is stranded, and then the evening is yours. Founders at every stage, local investors with no obligation to pitch or be pitched, and operators who can actually help with something. Bring what you are working on and what you are stuck on.
