What to look forward to
A free, relaxed coffee for people building open-source AI will kick off Open Source AI Week with no talks or pitches, plus Bridgit crew matching that pairs attendees with 1–3 people working on similar projects. Hosted by Y·US Ventures and Bridgit, the gathering will also help people find companions for the week’s hackathons, meetups, and other events.
Inside the event
Morning coffee for people building open-source AI.
Open Source AI Week packs dozens of events into ten days. This one is the easy start: a relaxed coffee where you meet a few people working on similar things. No talks, no pitches.
Come solo, leave with a crew
RSVP, then join on Bridgit. Tell it what you’re working on and it matches you with 1–3 other attendees before the coffee, so you walk in knowing someone. Your crew gets a group chat.
Not just Thursday
Matching runs for the rest of the week. Find someone to go to a hackathon, a meetup or a happy hour with.
Free.
At SF Tech Week, 600+ founders RSVP’d to Founders’ Coffee, and everyone who asked for a crew got one.
