AI Founders & Investors Forum

Building the Next Generation of AI Hosted by Taisu Ventures, the AI Founders & Investors Forum is a curated gathering of AI founders, investors, and builders at the forefront of what’s next. From agentic systems and AI-native applications to the infrastructure and new business models powering them, the forum brings together emerging companies and the investors backing the next wave of AI — creating a space to discover new technologies, ideas, and opportunities before they reach the mainstream.
