About us
Let's be honest nobody really knows where AI is heading... and perhaps most importantly, no one knows where it will finish up - and that’s exactly why we’re here.
This group is for anyone in Sydney and beyond who's curious, concerned, or completely captivated by Artificial Intelligence. Whether you’re building AI products, teaching others how to use them, an investor, or just trying to keep up with the daily firehose of news, you’re welcome here.
Our conversations will range from the practical to the philosophical. From how to get the most out of the latest tools like Chat GPT, to the bigger questions: How will this shape the workplace? Society? Art? even relationships - and what should we be doing about it?
The meetup won’t have all the answers - but we think the best way to figure things out is to do it together, out loud.
Each meetup will be a chance to connect, share, debate, and experiment in a safe environment. We’ll bring in guest speakers, do live demos, run workshops, and create a space for honest conversations.
If you’re keen to make the most of this fast-changing wave - and maybe have some fun while you're at it - and to meet others that are in the same boat - then come along. We’re building a curious, action-oriented community, and there’s room for your voice at the table.
If there are topics you want covered, or are interested in speaking at our event that helps stimulate the conversation, then please just reach out to the organisers.
Let’s talk about the future of AI together - even if nobody really knows what it looks like...

Building a Startup Unicorn ($1bn) without Hiring Anyone. AI Hype or AI Reality?
UTS Startups, 3, Broadway,Ultimo NSW 2007, Sydney, AUHow many people does it take to build a billion-dollar unicorn today? 🤔
With Open Claw being acqui-hired by OpenAI for an "undisclosed" but alleged substantial sum, and Medvi announcing 1bn of sales relying on AI for most activities is the era of the start-up unicorn with no employees a reality or just Hype?
For decades, the answer has always looked like an orchestra 🎻
Highly skilled specialists.
Coordinated teams.
Layers of management.
Years of effort to bring everything into alignment.But what if that model is quietly changing?
Is the emerging reality of AI-native startups ?🚀
Are we entering an environment where a single founder, equipped with the right tools, can build and operate what once required entire teams?Development. Design. Marketing. Operations. Even decision-making.
The “orchestra” is still there… but it’s no longer made up of people in the way it used to be. It's made up of AI-based applications
So the question becomes:
👉 Is a solo founder unicorn a genuine possibility… or just hype?
At the Future of AI (Probably…) meetup, we’re bringing together a great panel (2 currently confirmed) :
Josh Theeuf - As a Senior AI Engineer at ATI Group & an entrepreneur, Josh thrives in the gap between frontier research & business operations. He focuses on the strategic future of AI adoption while navigating its limitations in scaling AI-driven ventures
Adrian Whitehead - With 18 years at Google, Adrian has experienced firsthand how corporate DNA needs to evolve with change. He now helps startups & scaleups build stronger leadership teams that adapt effectively to high growth & change.
The panel will explore exactly this, and you can ask them those burning questions on your mind.
What’s real today? What’s still fantasy? And what does this mean for how companies are built, funded, operated and sold?
Join us as we unpack the future of building a startup unicorn with zero employees👇 as we discover the Future of AI (probably...)
This is likely to be a very popular event, so make sure you secure your place early as seats will be limited.
Thanks to our venue partner UTS startups once again for their ongoing support
