This is a curated evening for early-stage AI founders, investors, and corporate innovation leaders exploring the future of AI collaboration. The evening will feature a fireside chat on why corporate × startup partnerships often fail — and what successful collaborations actually look like in practice. Through real-world examples, speakers will discuss how startups and enterprises can build effective partnerships, navigate decision-making differences, and create long-term value together. Come ready to share what you're building, exchange ideas, and connect with founders, investors, and ecosystem builders over sushi and drinks. Appetizers and beverages will be available while supplies last. A select group of startups will also take the stage to pitch and connect directly with potential investors, partners, and collaborators.
