About this event
In May, TRUESDAYS was dedicated to early-stage AI startups.
This edition was built specifically for founders who are building AI-first products and are in the early stages of their journey. It brought together AI startup founders, early-stage investors, and operators who are actively working with AI.
This event was for:
👉 founders building early-stage AI startups
👉 teams developing AI-first products
👉 startups preparing to raise funding
👉 anyone looking for feedback, connections, or inspiration from other AI founders
What attendees experienced:
AI Startup Spotlight
Selected early-stage AI startups joined a different kind of stage format.
Instead of pitching slides, founders went straight to the point: what they’re building
where they are vs. where they want to go
what’s holding them back
Based on that, they’ve got live feedback from:
– Michala Gregorová (Miton)
– Chris Sheng (Mucker Capital)
And also from the audience, as many founders in the room were solving similar challenges.
Networking among AI founders
After the stage part, the focus shifted to conversations. AI founders met other AI founders, exchanged experiences, shared challenges, and connected with investors in the room.
Roundtable Discussion
A smaller, interactive discussion for founders who wanted to go deeper.
Topic: Do you need to be in the US vs. building from Prague (fundraising, customers, GTM)
Led by Tomáš Krátký (founder of Manta, acquired by IBM), who has firsthand experience building from Prague to global scale.
This was an evening designed for early-stage AI startups to be seen, meet each other, and build relationships within the AI community.
