Hackquarters

⟡ Last Tuesday at Google London reminded us why these rooms matter!

Founders, investors, researchers and ecosystem builders came together for an evening of honest conversations around building, applying and scaling AI driven businesses. The energy in the room was shaped by real stories, thoughtful questions and connections that carried on well beyond the official agenda.

Inspiring Female Founders in AI, co hosted by Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre and Tenity, was as much about community as it was about content. Seeing so many women shaping the future of AI in one place was genuinely energising.

A big thank you to SmartupNetwork and Kingsley Napley for supporting this initiative and for their continued commitment to the UK startup ecosystem.

And to everyone who joined us, thank you for showing up and making the evening what it was.
