📍 Event: Thanksgiving Networking Event (VC Nest & Deep-Tech Community)
"Last week, as we approached the Thanksgiving break, I casually mentioned to my colleague Monica Claros that we shouldn't expect more than 30 attendees for the Networking Event co-hosted by VC Nest and The Deep-Tech Community. To our surprise, close to 100 founders and investors filled the room working on revolutionary ideas and a shared drive to create meaningful impact. This truly showed the unique energy of Silicon Valley, where innovation never takes a break. Thank you Arjun S. for driving the powerful Deep Tech Community."

📍 Event: Conversational AI Panel (Palo Alto)
"We had a great panel at the Conversational AI event this week in Palo Alto, hosted by The Deep-Tech Community. I was joined by Arjun S. of Astha, and Christopher Radanovic of Infobip, in the panel hosted by David Fernandez Vinuales, as we discussed the use cases, Voice AI, and the pros and cons of RCS vs WhatsApp for driving AI-driven conversations. Rich 2-way messaging channels make it possible to deliver engaging, AI driven, user experiences for a large number of use cases."

📍 Event: AI for Manufacturing and Supply Chain (Palo Alto)
"Had an incredible time in Palo Alto meeting founders and industry experts in the world of AI for manufacturing and supply chain. Leading hardware companies are sending their execs to these events to find startups to partner with. I also had some deep conversations with Kartheek and Hans from TheAgentic about technical best practices to build highly tailored AI solutions. The big question everyone had - how do you compete with major players? The answer: be domain-specific. Shoutout to Arjun S. for hosting this event!"
