Mic Drop: AI Builders Pitch & Pod Social
Join us for an evening celebrating the ones building what’s next: out loud, in the open, and together.
Mic Drop: AI Builders Pitch & Pod Social is a gathering designed for AI founders to sharpen their pitches, connect with the community, share their insights, and create new collaborations.
Event Overview During the Night
🎤 Flash Pitches (~30 mins starting at 6:30 pm): Get on the mic. Founders will practice sharp, rapid-fire AI pitches (~1 min) in front of a supportive crowd. It’s not about perfection—it’s about clarity, connection, and reps.
🎙 Invite-Only: Live Recording of The AI CEO Podcast (all throughout the night) Upstairs at Legacy Sessions, Seema Alexander will host exclusive, short-form interviews with select AI founders. Street-style interviews will also happen on the main floor. Got a hot take? Come ready to drop it.
🤝 Find Your People: The rest is open networking. Great food, great drinks (available to purchase at Legacy Hifi) and better convos. You’ll leave with at least one new collaborator, idea, insight or friendship—guaranteed.
