Hey, Peeps. Time for me to touch grass and meet with people face to face again. What should we talk about this time? My last meetup's conversation topics with attendees: \* How many tokens will be have to burn before the singularity arrives? \* Has your security workflow changes post hugging face? \* Using language models for new molecular discovery in materials science \* How would you crack a Doge Coin Wallet where the user forgot the passphrase 10 years ago \* Show and tell what you;re working on. \* Know anyonevhiring? Will prompt for food. Our MO is grabbing a beverage of your choice, and hanging out to about whatever startupish nerdery we're intrigued by at the moment. Join us. :)

Building Products For Agents

From Noisebridge Hackerspace

**IMPORTANT:** Please fill out this [form](https://forms.gle/tvNVEmfQ2nxMsw9e7) to ensure access to the building, even if you’ve already registered on Meetup. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Your next user might be an agent.** Products used to be built for humans through a UI and developers through an API. Now agents are users too. What changes when you build for agents? Which tools should your product offer? Should you build the connection yourself or buy it? And how do you charge when the user is an agent rather than a person? Join ProductTank SF and [Vapi](vapi.ai) for a panel on building for agents, pricing, and the tools that connect agents to products. Speakers will share lessons and patterns, not product demos. **KEY TAKEAWAYS** * What changes when **agents become users**, and what builders are seeing in practice * How to **price for agents**: charging by use or results rather than by person * How to **design the tools agents use**: what to offer, how to design it, and whether to build or buy * How product teams **manage agent use** inside their own organizations **THE PANELISTS** **Sagar Batchu** is **CEO and co-founder of Speakeasy**. He helps companies turn their APIs into tools agents can use, and sees what works across hundreds of teams. **Rami Banna** is a **Product Lead at Stripe**, working on developer ecosystems and Stripe Projects. He helps developers and agents build and launch businesses. He brings the billing-for-agents perspective. **Jake Sciotto** is a **Technical Customer Success Manager at PostHog**. He works hands-on with customers building for agents and brings lessons from that work. **Ibrahim Bashir** is a **product leader** who has worked at Amazon, Box, Amplitude, and Ontra. He brings the product-management perspective connecting the panel’s themes. *Attendance will be first-come, first-served. We will close doors once we reach capacity; arrive early to secure a spot.* *Special thanks to our generous sponsor:* * [Vapi](https://vapi.ai/?utm_source=luma): Build, deploy, and improve voice agents as fast as you ship.

how to get the first 100 customers

Wed, Oct 21, 2:00 AM

From Counter Intelligence

Counte Intellignece club is for founders sick of role players. This month we talk GTM, how to get the first 100 customers. Not the usual BS we hear from accelerators, but real methods that can build traction. Led by an ex-airbnb marketer. The stuff that works in shockingly simple & doesn't require much spending. This is not a strategy GTM meetup, nor a lecture.We talk tactics 20% & implement directly within the same meeting. Most of the methods are agentic, so we can still enjoy a casual conversation during. Note: Please no freelancers or service providers, this is designed for Ai products. Meeting Link: https://meet.google.com/viu-muza-bmp (Voice only meetup, no need for video)

Wanna grab a tasty beverage and talk startupish nerdery? First round is on me. :) Hackers/Founders meetups are laid-back affairs. We find a quiet watering hole, hang out and chat about whatever we're working on. It's a great way to get out of a bubble and cross-pollinate because the people who attend are routinely awesome. Last meetup we talked about: \* When AI will take over the world and how will it be monetized \* The latest wave of hacks and what they mean for whatever we're building \* Using language models for new molecular discovery in materials science \* 4th gen nuclear reactors: pebble bed vs. molten salt (srsly, very cool chat) \* How you would crack a 10-year old Dogecoin wallet when you forgot the passphrase \* Startup nightmares and dreams come true Join us for more scintillating conversation on the 21st. See you there :)

Startup Pitch & Themed Networking San Francisco | Unlock Your Idea

Thu, Oct 22, 2:00 AM

From Startup Networking & Founder Ecosystem | San Francisco

4.2

Join founders, investors and tech talent at this curated **startup networking event in San Francisco.** Meet ambitious builders, exchange ideas and discover new opportunities in a dynamic community environment. **RSVP: [Use this link](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/startup-pitch-themed-networking-san-francisco-unlock-your-idea-tickets-1999531264839?aff=oddtdtcreator)** **Please note that RSVP is managed via Eventbrite to control attendee lists — don’t ignore it to avoid issues with on-site payment.** Most of us are in the same loop. You have an idea. You workshop it with ChatGPT, read another newsletter, tell three friends who don't quite get it. The idea stays in your head. Or worse — it never gets the kind of pushback that would have made it sharper. Research on creative work is clear: people who articulate their idea to like-minded peers begin to understand it deeper. Quality feedback isn't validation — it's the thing that changes how you see your own work. We mix the room on purpose. Different industries see the same process from different angles — that's where value compounds. We ask for your LinkedIn in registration so we can group you with the right people, not random tables. **How the evening runs (3 stages)** **Stage 1 — Themed Networking** You vote on the night's themes through the registration form (Fundraising, HR, GTM, Product, Pricing, Hiring — whichever wins the room). We group you by background. Each group's representative shares the conversation's main takeaway on stage. Featured contributors get a Featured Founder spotlight on ascentvalley.com — that's how the conversation scales across the ecosystem. **Stage 2 — Pitches** 5 curated startups present their idea for live feedback and investor introductions. After the event, we add them to our private founder database and route their application to the right investors inside the Ascent Valley network. **Stage 3 — Chill & Network** The structured part wraps. The bar stays open. The connections you started solidify here — most of our repeat attendees say this is where the real value lands. **Who's in the room** * Accelerator representatives — talent and dealflow scouts from San Francisco-based and EU-wide programs * Investors — angels, fund representatives, scouts from syndicates * Founders, Pre-seed to Series A — building across SaaS, AI, ClimateTech, FinTech, ConsumerTech * Operators — PMs, engineering leads, GTM leaders from scaling startups * Entrepreneurs across industries — fresh perspective is the point * Founders traveling through San Francisco — from Tel Aviv, Berlin, London, NYC, Lisbon nodes * Hiring leads from companies actively scaling teams **About Ascent Valley** Ascent Valley is a 3-layer ecosystem: Community, DealFlow, Events. Our mission is to break local boundaries and enable cross-region growth through real connection between founders, operators, and investors. **Philosophy: [IDEA → PROCESS → RESULT.](https://ascentvalley.com "https://ascentvalley.com")**
