“If you were looking for proof that Seattle is an AI hub, you would have found ample evidence on Thursday night at Block 41 in downtown.

More than 1,000 entrepreneurs, investors and tech leaders gathered for Founders Bash 2023, a massive meet-up celebrating the region’s innovation sector.

Hosted by Seattle venture capital firm Ascend, the event included all of the hallmarks of a Seattle party: a taco truck and hot dog stand, a DJ, and a cast of geeks building the next generation of startups, solving problems ranging from architecture to education.”
