​Join us for an exclusive members-only fireside chat with Derek Tu, co-founder and CEO of Carbon, a Seattle-based startup specializing in connecting external data sources to large language models.

​In December 2024, Carbon was acquired by Perplexity AI, a leading AI-powered search engine, to enhance its capabilities in integrating tools like Notion and Google Docs directly into its platform .

​During this intimate session, Derek will share insights into Carbon’s journey from inception to acquisition, the strategic importance of data connectivity in AI development, and the future of AI-driven search technologies.

​This event will be moderated by the one and only, Aviel Ginzburg!
