​AI Furnace
​​The AI Furnace is NYC's largest and most active AI community. It was started by AI founders, Angela Mascarenas and Hamza Zaveri, who were based in NYC and London and started the org to support fellow AI founders and operators building in local cities outside of Cerebral Valley (San Francisco). It has since grown to a global community of 12,000 AI founders, operators and researchers and has since opened up chapters in Boston and Dubai.
