Big Apple Set to Outshine Silicon Valley at The AI Hot 100 Conference

NEW YORK, NY, September 13, 2024 (EZ Newswire) -- Every AI founder today is wondering if they should be moving to San Francisco. A year ago, Hamza Zaveri and Angela Mascarenas were thinking the same thing as they embarked on their journeys as AI founders living in New York City and London. Pretty soon they realized there was a lack of a supportive ecosystem for AI outside of San Francisco, but they didn't want to move out of their cities. They took matters into their own hands and started bringing AI founders and developers together locally. Under The AI Furnace, they grew to over 15,000 members globally in 6 cities.

From Underground Community to a Global Movement, with The AI Hot 100 Conference

They are now funneling this movement of supporting local AI startups into The AI Hot 100 Conference on September 18 in NYC. The conference is bringing together 100 of the hottest funded AI startups from pre-seed to Series A on the East Coast, which they have curated as part of their AI Hot 100 Market Map. There will be 400+ attendees including top VCs, founders, operators, executives and researchers.

For the first time, The AI Hot 100 Conference will unite top AI startup talent from the East Coast, alongside leaders from government, venture capital, and big tech, including the New York State Economic Development Council, Andreessen Horowitz, Flybridge Capital, Gradient Ventures, Anthropic, and more. The event will showcase groundbreaking innovations and offer attendees a chance to connect with the who’s who of early stage AI. Expect to see breakthrough demos from the AI Hot 100 founders, giving an exclusive glimpse into the future.

What’s in Store

You’ll get front-row access to 100 AI startups such as Maven AGI, Arcee AI, Metaphysic, and more which have raised a cumulative $150 million. Also, connect with over 30+ top VC funds with over $65 billion AUM in dry powder. Expect engaging talks and demos on everything from AI agents to AI-generated anime and AI-fashion models. Plus, there’s a mixer for founders and funders, plenty of chances to network over breakfast and lunch, and even a chance to connect with founders who are hiring.
