What to look forward to
On Nov. 17, Thariq, former Claude Code team member at Anthropic, Chime co-founder, and YC W20 founder, will discuss what’s next for AI agents in a technical fireside chat followed by live Q&A. His experience spans building Claude Code, PubPub at the MIT Media Lab, and a startup backed by Twitch, Crunchyroll, and Oculus co-founders.
Inside the event
If you use Claude Code, you’ve probably learned something from a Thariq thread.
He spent more than a year on the Claude Code team at Anthropic, building it, explaining it, and watching it scale. He left last month. Before that, he co-founded Chime, which HubSpot acquired in 2013. He helped build PubPub at the MIT Media Lab. He ran One More Multiverse through YC W20 and a $17M Series A backed by the co-founders of Twitch, Crunchyroll, and Oculus.
On Tuesday, Nov 17 at 5 PM, he’s joining us at our Fort Mason space for a technical fireside on what next with agents, then opening it up for live Q&A.
Spots are extremely limited. You must RSVP and be approved to attend. We’ll be checking at the door, and seating is first-come, so arrive early if you want a good spot.
