About this event
If you're building in AI, Web3, or the space where both are starting to collide, this is a direct way to get in front of people who understand the terrain. Virtual Mentor Meet Startups | AI & Web3 is designed for founders and early teams who want sharper feedback, better questions, and practical conversations that move ideas closer to execution. This event is for people who prefer real signal over generic startup talk. Whether you're refining a product, testing a market, or trying to make sense of where autonomy, crypto, and AI can create real value, you'll be in the room with others asking similar high-stakes questions. About the Event This is a startup-focused mentor meetup centered on AI, Web3, crypto, and autonomy. The purpose is simple: create a space where founders and builders can have grounded conversations about what they're making, where they're stuck, and what they should do next. Rather than broad, one-way presentations, the spirit of the event is closer to a working session. Expect a format that supports conversation, feedback, and useful introductions over passive listening. If you're attending, the goal is not just to hear ideas, but to pressure-test your own. The event title points to mentorship, and that's the key lens to bring. Come ready to talk about your startup clearly: what you're building, who it's for, why it matters, and what kind of input would be most useful right now. What to Expect You can expect a mix of startup discussion, mentor-style feedback, and peer connection around the realities of building in fast-moving technical markets. The strongest conversations are likely to happen around product direction, founder decision-making, market timing, and the practical overlap between emerging technologies and real user needs. Topics in the room may include: AI product ideas and how to turn technical capability into something people actually want Web3 and crypto startup challenges, from positioning to trust to ecosystem fit Autonomy and intelligent systems, especially where they intersect with business models or user workflows Early-stage startup questions, including validation, traction, narrative, and focus Cross-disciplinary opportunities for teams working between AI and decentralized technologies Because this is a mentor-oriented meetup, it's worth preparing a concise version of your current situation. Helpful things to bring into conversations include: The one-sentence description of your startup Your current stage: idea, MVP, launch, or early traction The biggest decision or bottleneck you're facing right now The type of person, perspective, or expertise you'd most like to meet You should also expect a room where other attendees are there to build, not just browse. That makes the quality of conversation higher. People are more likely to be comparing notes on execution, distribution, partnerships, and product choices than debating trends in the abstract. Why Attend If you're early in the startup journey, targeted feedback can save weeks or months of wandering in the wrong direction. This event gives you a chance to test your thinking with people who understand frontier technology spaces and can respond with sharper perspective than a general networking crowd. There is also value in the mix of domains. AI and Web3 each come with their own assumptions, constraints, and opportunities. Bringing them into one room can surface useful questions about infrastructure, incentives, ownership, trust, automation, and what users will actually adopt. If your startup sits between categories, this kind of environment can be especially valuable. You may leave with: A clearer articulation of your product or startup narrative Better questions to ask before building further New contacts in AI, crypto, startup, and Web3 circles Insight into how others are approaching similar market or technical challenges Fresh perspective on where your idea fits and what it needs next Just as important, you get exposure to the mindset of other builders. Seeing how others frame problems, communicate vision, and respond to feedback is often as useful as the advice itself. Practical Details This event is listed as in person, so plan for face-to-face conversations rather than a remote session. That makes preparation a little different: bring your short pitch, be ready to introduce yourself naturally, and leave space for informal discussions before, during, and after structured moments. It takes place on Tuesday, May 6 at 4:00 PM GMT+2. If you're balancing work, building, or client time, it's worth planning your day so you can arrive focused rather than rushed. Events like this tend to reward energy and clarity, especially when the best opportunities often come from side conversations. A few practical ways to get the most from it: Prepare a clear 30-second and 2-minute version of what you're building Know the one or two questions you most want help with Be specific when asking for feedback; you'll get more useful answers Listen for alignment, not just attention, when meeting new people Follow up quickly with anyone relevant after the event If you're serious about building in AI, Web3, crypto, or autonomy, this is the kind of room where momentum can start. Come ready to talk honestly about what you're making and to help others do the same.
