How Carnegie Mellon builders turn frontier technology into real companies.
For SF Tech Week, AI Valley is bringing together CMU founders building at the edge of AI, robotics, infrastructure, hardware, and other deep-tech fields for a candid conversation on what it actually takes to turn technically ambitious ideas into enduring companies.
We’ll hear from Carnegie Mellon founders across different stages and industries about moving from research and prototypes into production, finding early customers, building defensibility, raising capital, and navigating the unique challenges of deep-tech entrepreneurship.
This is not a traditional alumni mixer or generic founder panel. Expect a high-signal evening for engineers, researchers, founders, students, investors, and builders interested in how breakthrough technology makes the jump from the lab into the real world.
