Food Systems
Powered By AI.
A monthly gathering for creators, founders, engineers, and marketers using AI to transform the food system towards alternative proteins. No hype—just practitioners sharing what's actually working.
Not just another meetup.
A curated, high-signal evening designed for people who are actually building. Every event follows the same proven format.
Food Demo
Taste an alt-protein product live. Real products, real founders, real conversations about what's hitting the market.
15 minLightning Demos
Three builders show the AI tools and workflows they're actually using. No slides. Live demos only.
3 × 10 minThe Hot Seat
One company pitches to a panel of VCs and operators. Real feedback, real connections. Think Shark Tank — minus the drama.
20 minStructured Networking
Not random mingling. Facilitated intros based on what you're building and what you need. Leave with real connections.
30 minBuilding the future of food.
Transforming our food system towards alternative proteins is a massive challenge. Whether you're formulating new products, crafting marketing campaigns, producing documentaries, or building businesses in this space—doing it with AI adds another layer of complexity.
This meetup is for people navigating those challenges right now. Whether you're a marketer using generative AI, a filmmaker telling the story of sustainable food, or an engineer wrangling LLMs—you'll find your people here.
Backed by organizations building the future of food.
