What you likely need
You're a deep learning researcher with serious industry pedigree — NVIDIA, DeepMind, Apple, Baidu — who's gone quiet publicly and may be circling back toward founding. The Festival events most valuable to you right now are small, high-trust rooms where you can road-test an AI infrastructure thesis, get warm intros to seed funds that back technical founders, and reconnect with the open-source and applied ML community to rebuild your public builder identity.
Would you attend these IRL Festival events?
We will tune and customize your Founder Festival experience to make sure you get invited to the events that would be most valuable to you.
- positioningA small founder dinner for ex-NVIDIA, ex-DeepMind, and ex-Google Brain researchers actively exploring or already building LLM infrastructure and tooling companies, to pressure-test early theses before committing
- fundraisingA curated roundtable connecting applied-PhD-turned-founders with AI-focused seed funds (Conviction, AIX Ventures, Radical Ventures) that specifically back technical founders with infrastructure and LLM tooling theses
- introsA DeepMind and Apple alumni happy hour for senior ML researchers and engineers who have crossed into founding or angel investing, to surface warm intros and co-founder leads in your existing network
- tacticalA Hugging Face community dinner for active model and dataset contributors — including researchers publishing from industry labs — to share build-in-public strategies and cross-promote open-source work under accounts like @mkliegl
- introsAn intimate office hours session with operator-angels from the DeepMind, Baidu, and Apple networks who are actively writing first checks into early-stage AI startups, designed to help technical operators like you structure an angel investing practice
- tacticalA candid closed-door roundtable for founders who have shut down or pivoted early-stage companies to share post-mortems and distill lessons — directly useful for documenting and contextualizing your Cosavant experience publicly
- positioningA working session for senior industry ML researchers at labs like NVIDIA, Meta AI, and Google DeepMind who want to translate internal applied work into arXiv preprints, blog posts, and public thought leadership without violating IP constraints
- hiringA co-founder matching mixer specifically for applied-math and ML-PhD researchers from top industry labs who are pre-company but exploring LLM tooling or AI infrastructure ideas and need a technical or GTM counterpart
