We’ve built the fastest-growing AI startup community in the world, The AI Furnace - with 25,000+ members across 4 cities in just 24 months.

Through this, we've created something unique: a peer network connecting the most exceptional AI technologists, researchers, and shapers with the resources they need to build breakthrough solutions.

We’ve created and maintained the definitive AI Hot 100 list - the only curated index tracking early stage startups who are shipping industry-defining solutions.

It was started by Hamza Zaveri and Angela Mascarenas, AI founders from London and New York who started the organization to support fellow AI founders and operators building in local cities outside of Cerebral Valley (San Francisco).
