/ About this event

Every AI company eventually runs into the same wall: the model works, but the infrastructure around it doesn't. Data isn't ready, compute is expensive and underused, and the tooling for running AI in production is still being invented.

The Infrastructure AI Still Needs brings together founders building that missing layer and investors backing it.

The panel:

Davit Buniatyan (https://linkedin.com/in/davidbuniatyan/) - Founder and CEO of Activeloop, the database for AI, built for the multimodal data models run on.

John Glasgow (https://linkedin.com/in/johnglasgow/) - Founder and CEO of Campfire, the AI-native ERP rebuilding accounting for fast-growing companies.

Felipe Chavez Cortes (https://linkedin.com/in/afchavez) - Founder and CEO of robot.com, who builds and deploys autonomous commercial robots - humanoids, delivery bots, and logistics vehicles wherever they are needed.

Mikayel Khachatryan (https://linkedin.com/in/michaelkh/) - Founder of Wirestock, which turns creator content into licensed AI training data.

Sergey Dean (https://linkedin.com/in/sergey-dean) - Managing Partner of Orion VC - early stage VC putting first check in AI Infrastructure and Physical AI companies.

What we'll dig into: - Where is the real bottleneck today: data, compute, or tooling? - What does infrastructure look like once agents move into production? - Which infra bets are investors making now, and which ones are they avoiding?

After the panel, stay to meet the speakers and connect with AI founders, CTOs, infrastructure engineers and enterprise AI leaders.

Space is limited, and RSVPs are reviewed.

Hosted by Orion VC, a San Francisco pre-seed fund investing in AI infrastructure, vertical AI and physical AI.

Special thanks to the Consulate General of Georgia in San Francisco for hosting.
