Global AI Makers • West Coast • AI CEOs, Founders, Makers

What does it actually take to build something worth buying?

Most business content is about raising money, growing users, or surviving the early days.

This event skips all of that and goes straight to the part most founders never reach: the exit.

We bring together founders who built real businesses and sold them.
Some closed in weeks. Some took years. Some used AI to build faster than any team could. Some bootstrapped with no outside funding and sold to a strategic buyer. Some built newsletter businesses, AI apps, SaaS tools, no-code platforms, vibe coding projects, and AI agent products that a larger company wanted enough to write a check for.

Every founder in the series has something most startup content glosses over: a real number, a real timeline, and a real story about what the process actually felt like from the inside.

This event is for founders at any stage, operators who want to understand what makes a business acquirable. Best for....
- AI founders building without a technical team
- People who use tools like Cursor, Base44, Bolt, Lovable, and Replit
- Startup CEOs thinking about their first or next exit

Each founder walks through what they built, who bought it, what the negotiation looked like, what they would do differently, and what they are working on now.

No panels. No investor pitches. No surface-level advice. Just founders telling the truth about what it took to get to the other side.

The audience is small and the questions are open.

Come ready to ask the one you actually want answered.

Note: Date may change to accommodate guest speakers. Check this page for the most current information.

No keynotes. No panels. No name badges with your job title in tiny font.

Just a room full of builders, founders, operators, investors, and people figuring out what AI makes possible — and enough time to actually talk to each other like human beings.

The Global AI Makers Live Mixer is a structured in-person networking event for the AI builder community. We run intentional icebreakers, themed conversation tables, and curated introductions so you leave with real connections instead of a stack of business cards you will never follow up on.

Every element of the format is designed to create the kind of accidental hallway conversation that only happens at the best events.

This event is for AI founders and startup CEOs at any stage, no-code and low-code builders shipping products without a traditional engineering team, vibe coders using tools like Cursor, Bolt, Base44, Lovable, and Replit to build fast, AI agent developers and prompt engineers, tech professionals exploring what AI means for their industry, operators and product leaders integrating AI into existing businesses, investors looking for the next generation of AI-native founders, and anyone who is building something and wants to be around other people who are doing the same.

Conversations at our events cover what people are building with AI right now, which no-code and vibe coding tools are actually working, how founders are using AI agents to replace entire workflows, what the AI startup landscape looks like from the inside, and who in the room can help you move faster on whatever you are working on.

Show up on time. Come ready to meet someone you were not expecting to meet.

The Global AI Makers Summit is a full-day conference bringing together the people who are actually building the AI-powered future.

Early stage founders. Established AI companies. Operators scaling with automation and AI agents. No-code and vibe coding entrepreneurs shipping faster than traditional dev teams. Investors writing the first check and the growth check. And the builders, developers, and tech professionals who are figuring out what all of this means for their work and their industry.

Global AI Makers Summit is built around one belief: the best thing you can take home from a conference is a relationship and a new way of thinking, not a slide deck you will never open again.

The day includes multiple stages and session formats covering the full spectrum of what it means to build with AI right now. You will hear from founders who used AI to ship a product in days that would have taken a team of ten a year to build.

You will hear from CEOs of established companies who are rebuilding their operations around AI agents and automation. You will hear from no-code and vibe coding entrepreneurs who are creating entirely new business models without writing a single line of traditional code. You will hear from investors about what they are actually funding in the current AI landscape and what they are passing on. And you will hear from practitioners who will show you, not just tell you, what is working right now.

Topics covered across sessions include building and deploying AI agents for real business use cases, the no-code and vibe coding revolution and what it means for founders without technical backgrounds, how to use tools like Cursor, Replit, Base44, Bolt, Lovable, and others to ship faster than your competition, AI startup fundraising in the current market, how established companies are integrating AI without losing what makes them work, building and monetizing AI-native products, and what the next wave of AI infrastructure, tooling, and applications looks like from the people closest to it.

This event is for AI startup founders and CEOs, no-code and low-code builders and entrepreneurs, vibe coders and AI-native product builders, tech professionals navigating the AI transformation of their industry, operators and product leaders integrating AI into existing teams and workflows, developers and engineers exploring AI agent development, investors and advisors active in the AI startup ecosystem, and anyone who is serious about what building looks like in the next five years.

Whether you are pre-idea, post-launch, or somewhere in the messy and exciting middle — this summit is built for you. The speakers are real. The conversations are honest. And the people in the room are exactly who you want to know.

Early RSVP is strongly recommended. This event fills up and we do not expand capacity. A paid ticket is required for in-person attendance.
