Invite & approval only: Stanford and UC Berkeley alumni and students, alongside founders, investors, researchers, and engineers from across the Bay Area's technology and entrepreneurship community.
A few years ago, the path out of Berkeley and Stanford was clear: finish the degree, join a big company, wait your turn. Today, some of the fastest-moving AI companies are being started before the PhD ink is dry and the questions have gotten harder: when do you jump, what's actually worth building, how do you raise in this market, and where in the world do you build it?
Those conversations aren't happening at career fairs.
Join 100+ hand-picked members of the Stanford and Berkeley communities for an evening built around exactly that: curated mingling, a tight, high-signal fireside with the fastest person ever to complete a Mathematics PhD at UC Berkeley, and yummy Singaporean bites from Dabao Singapore.
You'll leave with:
- 💡 An unfiltered read on going from academia to founder — from someone who did it faster than anyone
- 💰 What raising and scaling an AI infrastructure company actually looks like right now
- 🔗 Connections across two campuses' worth of founders, researchers, and investors
- 🥟 A full stomach, courtesy of Dabao Singapore
