Pitch Please Series
Founders take the stage to present their AI startups to a room of builders, operators, and investors, then get live, unfiltered feedback. It is part demo night, part pressure test, and a chance to hear the kind of candid reaction you do not get from a polished deck. Come to sharpen your own story or watch strong founders handle hard questions.
Founder Showcases
Work from AI House for the day. Bring your laptop, set up in the Pier 70 space, and build alongside other founders and engineers with the water right outside the window. There is no agenda and nothing to sign. It is the easiest way to see the room, meet people working on AI, and decide whether this feels like your community.
Vibe Coding Sessions
Hands-on sessions where you build something real. Turn an idea into a working app or prototype using the latest AI tools, with others building around you. Less lecture, more keyboard. You leave with something you made and a clearer sense of what became possible this week. Useful whether you code every day or have never shipped a line.
Affinity Groups
The company-building engine at the center of the community. Small, recurring groups organized by role and focus, where founders, go-to-market leaders, and technical leads trade notes with their peers. In a market moving this fast, the person who tried something last week often knows more than any blog post. These rooms are where that knowledge moves first.
Build Days
A showcase of demos from leading startups across AI House and the wider Seattle ecosystem. The focus is on what teams have actually shipped, not what they are planning to build. It is one of the fastest ways to see where applied AI is heading in the region and meet the people building what others will soon use, partner with, or hire for.
Ask Me Anything
Candid, unscripted conversations with founders, operators, and investors who have already been through it. The recruiting misses, pricing pivots, and rounds that nearly fell apart are all fair game. The point is to ask the questions that usually only get answered privately and bring those answers into the open.
Annual Community Summer BBQ
Now in its sixth year, the AI House summer BBQ has become one of Seattle’s signature gatherings for the AI community. Each year, 1,500+ builders, founders, operators, and investors come together on the Pier 70 waterfront. It is the rare event where the whole ecosystem shows up at once, from longtime collaborators to the next wave just getting started.
Featured Speaker Series
A recurring stage for the people shaping the future of AI and company-building. Past speakers include Vinod Khosla, Steve Yegge, and others working at the frontier of technology and investing. These are not keynote-and-leave appearances. The series is built around candid conversation and real questions from the room, so you leave with perspective that is hard to get secondhand.
The Weeks That Matter
Seattle’s calendar is packed with major tech weeks, from AI Week and Deep Tech Week to Space Week, Climate Week, and more. When the ecosystem gathers, AI House becomes a hub for it. We host and anchor events across the season’s biggest weeks, giving builders a home base and a reason to show up when the whole city is moving at once.
Female Founder Happy Hours
A recurring gathering for the women building AI companies in Seattle, including founders, operators, and the investors backing them. It is low on programming and high on real conversation over drinks. People trade notes on who is hiring well, who is raising, and what is actually working. The connections made here tend to last well beyond the evening.
Founder Roundtables
A private forum for founders in the AI House Incubator to compare notes on the things they cannot post publicly. Pricing decisions, cofounder tension, board conversations, fundraising metrics, and other hard topics are all on the table. Because the room is limited to the current cohort, founders go deeper than they would almost anywhere else. It is the company-building brain trust at its most useful.
GTM Deep Dives
Working Sessions focused on go-to-market, the part of company-building that trips up most early teams. Founders and operators dig into the specifics, from finding the first ten customers to pricing, sales cycles, and ICP. Less theory, more teardown. You leave with tactics you can try immediately, drawn from people who have tested them recently.
