Women X Foundation: Lab to Launch, Where Capital Meets the Next Wave of AI
Hosted by Women X | SF Tech Week 2026
Saturday | 3:00–6:00 PM | San Francisco
Technology is moving quickly, and the next chapter of AI is already beginning to take shape.
Where will capital move next? Is AI infrastructure still the biggest opportunity? Will physical AI become the next major investment wave? And as AI security becomes increasingly important, how will it affect investment, R&D, and adoption?
This SF Tech Week, Women X is bringing together women across venture capital, startups, and the technology industry for two conversations about where AI is heading, from the perspectives of both the people investing in the next generation of technology and the people building it.
PANEL I | WHERE WILL CAPITAL FLOW NEXT?
A conversation with investors and leaders across venture capital and the broader investment ecosystem.
AI has attracted unprecedented levels of capital, but the investment landscape is evolving quickly. As the market matures, investors are looking beyond the first wave of generative AI toward infrastructure, physical AI, robotics, AI for science, semiconductors, security, and other emerging opportunities.
The goal is to understand how investors are thinking about the next phase of AI, and where capital may flow as technology and markets continue to evolve.
PANEL II | BUILDING THROUGH THE NEXT AI SHIFT
A conversation with startup founders and technology leaders building and operating at the frontier of AI.
We are at an unusual moment in technology. AI capabilities are advancing rapidly, new products and companies are emerging every day, and the boundaries between software, hardware, robotics, science, and the physical world are beginning to blur.
For founders and technology leaders, one of the biggest questions is simple: where do we go from here?
This panel brings together founders from leading and emerging startups alongside senior leaders across the technology industry to discuss what they are seeing from inside the ecosystem.
