From Curb to Collar: AI Demos That Solve Real-World Problems is a high-energy, interactive pitch and demo event showcasing how applied AI is transforming everyday life—from school pickup system to pet safety.
Designed as a hands-on alternative to traditional panels, this event brings attendees beyond slides and into live, working technology. You won’t just hear about innovation—you’ll see it, test it, and engage directly with the founders building it.
The evening features two standout demos:
🚗 CurbTech Live AI — an award-winning smart school pickup system using computer vision (YOLO + OCR) and edge computing to automate license plate recognition and streamline student dismissal. The system will reduce pickup time, improve safety, and offer scalable solutions for schools nationwide.
🐶 Smart QR Dog Tag — a simple yet powerful innovation enabling instant pet reunification. With a quick scan, anyone can access a pet’s information and contact the owner—no batteries or apps required—making it an accessible, real-world safety solution for pet owners everywhere.
Hear directly from Dr. Yan Wang (VP, TechMatte Inc.) and talented high school student Nina Zhang, creators behind these impactful technologies, as they share insights into building practical AI systems that serve real communities.
What sets this event apart is its interactive, participatory format:
• 🏁 Live Scan Challenge — test the QR dog tag in a real-time rescue simulation
• 🚗 AI Pickup Simulation — experience live license plate detection in action
• 🤝 Networking Bingo — a fun, gamified way to connect with founders, builders, and investors
Whether you're a founder, investor, engineer, educator, or simply curious about real-world innovation, this event offers a rare opportunity to experience AI that works—today.
