Grateful to receive a VIP invitation to the Startup World Cup 2026 in San Francisco.

Last year I was part of this ecosystem as a Startup World Cup mentor, helping founders sharpen their pitches. This week I am back at the Hilton Union Square for the Semi-Finals and the Grand Finale, November 4 to 6, this time as a founder and mentor.

Moments like this are why I keep showing up for this community.
If you are attending, come say hello. Always happy to talk startups, AI, and building in public.
