AI Founders Summit

Play the Long Game. Meet the People Building What’s Next. An invite-only gathering for founders, builders, operators, and investors shaping what’s next in AI. Forget stiff panels, rows of chairs, and the usual “so, what do you do?” circuit. We’re taking founder networking somewhere a little more social - onto the green. Come spend an afternoon at Manhattan NYC with a curated mix of AI founders and the people backing them. Grab a club, join a group that isn’t your usual circle, play a few holes, and see where the conversation takes you. Because some of the best startup conversations don’t happen across a conference table.
