We couldn't have done it without @thezbg and the whole Gradient team supporting us. For other AI founders reading this: you should to talk to Zach at Gradient if you want an investor who understands AI and has been in this space for nearly a decade.

We were lucky enough to hang out with 100+ founders in NYC last week. Every time we get the chance to spend time IRL with our community, we leave feeling inspired. We already miss them and can’t wait to see them again soon! 🤩
