Week 2 at @fdotinc Canopy

Hosting events with @callbook_ai and @truefoundry this week.

My friend and I got into an argument about if my friend's startup was GMI and built this:

@fdotinc Canopy day 6!

Last week, our attendee platform worked well.

Now we're locking in on testing the host side of Lynk.

Deeper analytics on who showed up, who connected with who, what sessions actually hit.

HMU if you're an event host, we gotchu with a free demo

[Rahul Peesa @deactiveasdf]

Been building at @fdotinc canopy for around a week now

In the last week we've:

> Launched the platform at an event with 150 attendees
> 165 new users in 3 days
> Networked with some amazing builders
> Set up LOTS of calls with event hosts

HMU if you wanna learn more!

“You could feel it before you reached the door.”

Four hundred feet out on the pier toward AI House.
By the time we started, laptops were open.

We ran Deploying Open-Source Frontier Models in Seattle — our first AI Valley event here. The @MiniMax_AI × @AMD workshop went from slides to live deployment in minutes. People were testing M2.1 on AMD Developer GPUs and stress-testing agentic workflows before the first coffee run.

The fireside carried that same depth - with leaders like Chee Chew (CTO @zapier), Urvashi Chowdhary (VP Product @CoreWeave), Rob Futrick (xCTO @anacondainc), and Matt F. Fisher (Daydream / Adventr) sharing what actually breaks, what scales, and what most teams underestimate.

Open-source isn’t theory anymore. It’s infrastructure - and the builders in that room are already treating it that way.

Seattle, we'll be back.

Talked to my ICP for the first time last week.

Got some good feedback and features to add.

Kinda new to this, how should I find more people to validate?

[Rahul Peesa @deactiveasdf]

Networking shouldn’t depend on memory.

Lynk turns every event into a searchable, living network.

Meet the right people.
Follow up automatically.
Search your own network like a database.

What is your biggest annoyance with networking?

[Rahul Peesa @deactiveasdf]

@Courtneythko @aivalleyio Thank you!

[Rahul Peesa @deactiveasdf]

8 months ago I was checking people in.

Last week I helped host Seattle’s largest AI event this month (120+ people, 65 orgs), @aivalleyio’s first expansion outside Silicon Valley.

Seattle has 1 in 4 of the world’s AI talent

What’s stopping Seattle from becoming the AI capital?

[MiniMax (official) @MiniMax_AI]

Yes sirrrr🫡🤗

If you’re a builder and love milk tea…

We just wrapped up our tea hangout in downtown Palo Alto—and it was a vibe ☕️

No pitches, no panels, just good conversations with builders, founders, and creators over free Molly Tea.

Interested in something like this? We’ll be doing another one soon!

Drop a 🧋 if you want in next time.

Everyone knows OpenClaw…🦞
What if you could build something cooler, by yourself?

We just hosted our very first AI Valley Demo Day in partnership with Beta University and Agora.
From 50+ applicants, 8 teams pitched live to a panel of VCs and industry veterans.

Huge thanks to our incredible judges: Hongkyu Choi, Zhen Xia, Glenn Borok
Demos spanned AI-native legal and financial ops, automated video production, and embodied robotics.

But the real highlight was what happened after.
The room turned into a working session—less formal event, more sharp friends building together.

This is exactly why we started AI Valley: a space where serious builders learn from each other, in public, without pretense.
Shoutout to all the teams who pitched:

More Demo Days coming soon.
Want a shot at pitching to investors? Follow our stories—let’s build together!
