Five talented founders take the stage selected from the AI2 Incubator applicant pool (apply [here])
- Each founder gets 15 minutes total:
  • 3 minutes to pitch
  • 6–7 minutes of candid feedback and Q&A from AI2 Incubator experts, including:
  - Yifan Zhang Managing Director, AI2 Incubator
  - Pierre Martin, CTO at Gavel & AI2 Venture Partner
  - Mia Lewin, Founding Partner, TheFounderVC
- Plus, 3 minutes of live audience Q&A for each founder—questions selected by our moderator.
  - Networking Mixer (1 hour): Stick around afterward to network with founders, potential co-founders, investors, and AI enthusiasts.

🚀 Audience Participation:

Audience votes on their favorite pitch—"Audience Choice" winner automatically receives a guaranteed 1:1 meeting with AI2 Incubator.

🔑 Post-Event Opportunities:

AI2 selects which of the pitching founders (could be all 5) to invite for follow-up 1:1 meetings, exploring potential investment and incubation.

Whether you're pitching, exploring co-founder opportunities, or simply looking for inspiration, join us and elevate your startup game!

Please note: These events are not open to investors or folks from banking.
We do invite one guest VC to join the panel each time — if you’d like to be considered, feel free to email us directly!

Please note: RSVPing or receiving an invite approval via Luma does not mean you’ve been selected to pitch. If you’re chosen, someone from the AI2 incubator team will reach out to you directly with next steps.
