AI for Startups and Entrepreneurs

AI is no longer experimental—it is becoming core infrastructure for how new companies are built, scaled, and differentiated.

AI for Startups and Entrepreneurs is a free, practical meetup for founders, builders, and aspiring entrepreneurs who want to understand how modern AI can be applied to real products, workflows, and businesses. The focus is not on hype or theory, but on how entrepreneurs actually use AI today to move faster, test ideas, and create leverage.

In these sessions, we explore:

• What today’s AI systems can (and cannot) do
• How entrepreneurs use AI to prototype, validate, and iterate on ideas
• The fundamentals of building AI-powered products without needing a deep technical background
• Common pitfalls, constraints, and ethical considerations when applying AI in real-world contexts

Sessions draw in part from material in Artificial Intelligence: Shaping the Future of Innovation (AI Essentials for Leaders series), combined with live demos, discussions, and applied examples.

The long-term goal of this meetup is to help participants develop the judgment and foundational skills needed to lead or contribute to teams building AI-enabled products and companies—whether as founders, operators, or technical collaborators.

No prior AI experience is required—just curiosity and a desire to build.
