Testimonials

"Hats off to my fellow panelists Astasia Myers, Eugenio Gonzalez, & Bhaskar Ghosh for dropping 💎’s on investing in enterprise AI.  And cheers to Nick Davidov, Marina Davidova, Elena Malyanova, & Kuzma Ledenev for putting on a great show!"

Vivek Sodera

Founder at Superhuman

"The event was unexpectedly much more relevant than I expected. My goal was to meet and better understand our startup community and the VC world and discuss current trends. I was expecting to come in the cold, know almost no one, and get exposed to interesting materials (both tech and VC) that would be totally new to me. It turned out current trends in GenAI are much closer to what I’m doing for a living than I expected.I managed to find quite a few very relevant tech conversations and knowledgeable people."

Anton

VP, Graphics Research at Intel

A perfect blend of founders, investors, and experts it's an ideal platform for networking and forging valuable connections. The energy was electric as industry leaders shared insights on tech trends!"
