/ About this event
Please join us for the a16z speedrun AI Faire, showcasing the most exciting AI B2B startups across a16z speedrun cohorts. Meet dozens of founders and explore live demos of the AI tools they're building.
This event is designed for executives and operators looking to adopt new technology at their companies.
There is no formal programming. This is for you to walk around, engage directly with early-stage founders, and see their products in action. Entry times will be staggered; please indicate your preferred entry time when applying to attend. We'll confirm your entry time by email.
a16z speedrun is Andreessen Horowitz's program to invest in and support early-stage startups. We run the program twice a year over 12 weeks, with founders working out of a16z's offices.
Due to capacity constraints, not all applications can be accommodated. Please wait for a confirmation email stating "you're on the list" before making plans to attend. Thank you for understanding.
This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
