StrictlyVC’s first San Francisco event of the year is approaching, with only a week left to secure tickets. The venture and founder communities will convene at the Sentro Filipino Cultural Center on April 30 for an evening filled with insightful conversations and networking opportunities.
We are pleased to announce a new addition to our speaker lineup: Eclipse founder and CEO Lior Susan, who has recently raised $1.3 billion to support “physical AI” startups. In our discussion, Susan will explore this investment and share his vision for the evolution of autonomy in the real world as AI and the physical world converge.
With experience in the military and leading hardware investments at Flex, Susan is well-equipped to discuss opportunities in enhancing industrial systems with new technologies. He will be interviewed by our venture reporter Marina Temkin, ensuring no questions are left unanswered.
Susan will be joined by other speakers for timely conversations. Replit co-founder and CEO Amjad Masad will address the AI-driven transformation in software development and the future of programming amid ongoing industry changes.
TDK Ventures president Nicolas Sauvage, whose firm sponsors the event, will join TechCrunch editor-in-chief and StrictlyVC founder Connie Loizos for a talk on corporate venture capital, early-stage investing, and crucial lessons for founders on strategic funding.
Additionally, Forum AI co-founder and CEO Campbell Brown will discuss building trustworthy AI systems in a skeptical environment. Her perspective is informed by her roles as Meta’s media partnerships head and a former CNN host, with an interview by senior reporter Tim Fernholz.
