What we’re about
This group is led by Chris Rotunno—a data professional with 5 years of experience and an MS in Data Analytics—for anyone interested in machine learning, data science, and AI-driven innovation.
We are a competitive-minded community of developers, analysts, entrepreneurs, and AI enthusiasts who can learn, collaborate, and apply machine learning in real-world industries. While we focus on Nashville’s key industries like healthcare and music, we’re not limited to them—our members vote on topics.
This group isn’t just about learning—it’s about building something meaningful together. As we grow and attract high-potential members, there is an opportunity to form a business entity that emerges organically from our collaboration.💡 A Future Business, Born from This Community – As the group matures, I plan to identify members with the highest potential to co-found a for-profit business venture that applies machine learning to solve real problems.
🏢 Sponsorship & Growth – If the meetup becomes a hub for innovation, we may explore business partnerships and sponsorships to support our mission and provide resources to our members.
This isn’t just a networking event—it’s a place where AI innovators can connect, experiment, and potentially launch an organization together.
