The nerdiest Agentic VC Dojo for venture professionals

Hone your skills, build your projects

Gain AI Agent superpowers applicable to your real work and needs. We will follow up to assure your hopes and dreams with AI are closer to reality.

Join us, we're getting our hands dirty. Elbow grease is encouraged.

Join by creating an account

Why an account? Sessions have live polls and saved-state features (your tool stack, the dispatches feed). Sign-in keeps the room to verified venture folks — no spam, no bots. What about my data? You sign in via LinkedIn or GitHub — no password for us to lose. We store your name, handle, and email. We never share, sell, or DM you for marketing, and you can delete your account anytime.

Kauffman Fellows + Society Alumni are always welcome.

Other VC professionals may create an account, but participation in our live sessions, working groups, projects, etc, is invite only. Get in touch with organizers or participants for an invite.
