I'm Derek Larson. I started NY AI in early 2022, 9 months before ChatGPT.
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 incubated AI products.
We love jamming with builders and helping them turn nothing into something.
We host: events where the right people meet.
We incubate: Kin, Blackout, and a stealth project.
We support: with hiring, integrating AI, advice, and more. Learn more
