Founders Bay Brief
Where builders are showing up this week
|
|
Hi Friends,
Sending this a day late because I’ve been busy preparing for our final weekend at the hospital with Liam. After more than a month here, we’re finally going home on Thursday! 😊
We have a super exciting week ahead:
🚀 We’re co-hosting a YC Demo Day featuring 70+ YC startups.
☕ Our famous AI Breakfast is back, bringing together some of the Bay Area’s most exciting founders, engineers, and investors.
🏆 We’re also hosting a Pitch Competition at Brex.
I can’t wait to see you all this week!

Community Moment
🔥 TITANIC Burns at Burning Man
|
|
|
|
Be part of the 2nd largest burn after the Man.
My community Titanic's End is bringing TITANIC to the playa — two halves of a sinking ship rigged with pyro and lighting. 7+ months to build, 6 days out there, then we burn it down. Learn More →
Want to be part of creating this experience? We need 130 Perimeter Crew for Friday's burn — stand feet from the fire as the crowd falls silent, then erupts.
