Blackbird x Founders Edge: AI Pitch Night

Five AI startups pitch live to Blackbird judges, plus a panel cutting through the hype to what's actually getting funded right now.

Five emerging AI startups will pitch live to Blackbird judges in rapid-fire three-minute rounds, giving you a sharp snapshot of what's actually getting built right now. The real value comes first, though: a panel of expert judges kicks things off by cutting through AI hype to discuss what's genuinely shifting in funding and where opportunities actually exist. You'll spend the evening in Flex by ISPT The Collider surrounded by founders, investors, and people actively shaping the next wave of AI, with structured time to mingle before, between, and after the pitches. Come for the pitches, but stay for the conversations with people who know the landscape.
