SF Tech Week's first stop. Before fifty pitches this week call themselves "the future of Physical AI / Security," we're getting VCs to say — off the record — what's actually fundable, and why security might be the last real moat left standing. Live demo pitches. Real-time mentoring. Then an unfiltered panel — no VC-speak, no hype. For startups: Pitch to VCs actively looking at physical AI, robotics, and security — and get feedback on the spot. A good fit if you're: -Building something new in physical AI, robotics, or security, and want an outside perspective -Looking to build connections across the US, Japan, and beyond For investors: Get early access to the physical AI, robotics, and security startups coming to Tech Week. A good fit if you're: -Looking to meet teams on day one, before their names start circulating -Sharpening your view on where to place bets in physical AI and security 🍱 12:00 — Networking 🎤 12:40 — The unfiltered panel 🚀 13:20 — Demo pitches + live mentoring 🍣 14:20 — Networking with THE Japanese Sushi tasting ✅ 15:30 — Done 🔒 Closed room, 150 people.
