Let the countdown begin! ⏲️ 🔥 Just 7 days stand between us and the biggest AI Builders event to date. With over 200 registrants (and counting) and 5 inspiring local demos, this is shaping up to be an incredible night. We've already announced Liminal, Lighty AI, and Gravity Foundation. Now it's time to introduce our growth stage speakers... Meet, Magnifi by TIFIN! TIFIN creates companies to improve wealth outcomes. For Denver Startup Week, TIFIN's own, Philips Antoine Gilbert will be demoing Magnifi, their AI for your finance future. In their own words, Magnifi is an AI designed to help you invest — in fact, the world’s first. With Magnifi you can do faster, better research, get help making decisions, plan for a goal, manage your portfolio, and learn while you invest. Magnifi will help you find and buy investments from a marketplace of over 15,000 stocks and funds. And Magnifi can even analyze your existing investments that you hold at other brokerages. Think of Magnifi like a co-pilot for your investing — like Siri or Alexa went to investment school.

It’s good to see Web3 startups winning back VC hearts (for now) and to all the bros who didn’t jump ship fully to AI, we got you. AI and Web3 belong together and I believe funding shouldn't be related to market speculation but the massive potential to disrupt for years to come.

Wrapped up Day 3 of #TechCrunchDisrupt2024 with a blend of excitement and reflection. The surge in #AI innovation is undeniable, yet we might be nearing a reality check as hype normalizes and the rush to fund AI ventures slows down. Conversations with founders and investors highlighted the passion and resilience that continue to push tech forward, even as challenges loom. Grateful to connect with so many visionary minds—here’s to sustainable growth and driving meaningful impact! Huge kudos to the TechCrunch team for staying true to the spirit of journalism by asking insightful questions about difficult issues surrounding tech, even at the risk of displeasing some executives or VCs. It’s no surprise that some companies that I won't name pulled out of panels at the last minute. Already looking forward to the next year's event. #startup #AIrevolution #innovation #TechCrunch #TechCrunchDisrupt

Our last VC Spotlight event at AI Safety Founders was a big success! 🎉 A big thank you to the incredible partners, Nick Fitz and Griffin Bohm from Juniper Ventures, for joining us and sharing their invaluable insights. 🙌 Here are some key takeaways from the session: 🚀 Get going quickly! Establish your name early - craft a clear blurp and a deck that effectively communicate what your organization is about. Start sending it out and building your network. Momentum matters! 🔍 Opportunities are everywhere! While cutting-edge research holds massive potential, there are also countless opportunities to adapt tried-and-true business models to today’s AI-driven world. Reviving these approaches and applying them to mitigate AI risks can lead to truly impactful solutions. We’re thrilled to see Juniper Ventures backing startups that tackle the risks of advanced AI head-on, showing just how successful this approach can be!

Valuable insights yesterday from VCs from Juniper Ventures and industry professionals I’m pretty sure in time a few AI safety startups will come out of this. It was a good event. The market is still relatively small and new but expected to balloon in the coming years. #AISafety #VentureCapital #Founders #entrepreneurship
