Hosted by Forum Ventures & First Row Venture Partners
📍 Seattle Tech Week | 🥗 Private Lunch Gathering

​AI is moving fast, and it’s only as strong as the infrastructure it runs on. Join us for a curated lunch bringing together the builders and backers of the AI infrastructure stack: the unsung enablers powering the next wave of agentic AI.

​This event is an intimate gathering designed for early-stage founders building the rails that AI agents sit on, alongside investors focused on the tooling, platforms, and backend innovation that’s driving this category forward.

​Expect meaningful conversations, shared insights, and new connections across the AI infra community. Whether you’re building distributed systems, LLM ops, data infrastructure, or developer platforms for AI, this lunch is for you.

Challenging perception, practicing perspective.

Minda Brusse will lead a guided walking tour with 4-5 pieces of Northwest art on public display at the Seattle Convention Center. She will describe how to "unpack" abstract art by leading a lively Q&A with the art. The method and exercise illuminates a path for navigating complex, novel problems and bringing multiple points of view to the conversation. This critical thinking skill is invaluable for anyone in an innovation role.

​Attendees will get acquainted as they break into small practice groups to examine various pieces before the group adjourns to a no-host happy hour across the street at Alder & Ash.

​This is ideal for a broad group of tech/innovation, founders/funders, and students.

In this recurring flagship event, we create an approachable and relaxed discussion environment to build investing skills. By bringing a diverse set of startup ecosystem people together, we work to reduce the power and information asymmetry between founders and funders.

While you'll hear a founder pitch, it is only for the benefit of our discussion and isn't a solicitation for investment. Because this is an educational event, we also welcome participants regardless of their accreditation status or active investing role.
