About New York AI

New York AI is a community of AI builders in New York City.

I'm Derek Larson. I started New York AI in early 2022.

At the time, there wasn't a strong community for AI builders in NYC.

Since then, we've hosted dozens of events, made almost a thousand introductions, and built AI products.

We love jamming with builders and helping them turn nothing into something.

Members include:

- Engineers & operators from Anthropic, DeepMind, OpenAI, Ramp, and more.

- Founders backed by a16z, Sequoia, YC, and more.

- ML leads at Bloomberg, NASA, Fortune 500s.

- Researchers from MIT, Stanford, Columbia.

What we do:

We host: events where the right people meet.

We incubate: Delegate, Kin, Blackout, and a stealth project.

We support: with hiring, integrating AI, advising, and more. Learn more
