NYC Pitch Night (w/ The AI Collective)

New York, let’s see what you’re building. 🚀

Join The AI Collective for an evening of startup pitches, live product demos, and conversations with the founders behind them.

We’re selecting 6–8 seed and early-stage AI startups actively raising capital to share their work with a room of angel investors, VCs, fellow founders, and technical operators. This edition will spotlight emerging AI applications, including physical AI, robotics, and embodied systems.

Come get a closer look at the products, ask the founders what you want to know, and stay to continue the conversation.

👀 What to expect

• Live pitches and product demos from selected AI startups.

• Audience Q&A to dig into the technology, the business, and what each team is learning.

• Live community voting through the AI Collective Demo Night platform.

• Time with the teams to explore potential investments, partnerships, and opportunities to work together.
