Bringing the ethos of cerebral valley to the world
The AI Furnace is a global community of AI founders, builders and researchers. 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). Since starting in August, they've grown to over 15,000 members globally and host IRL AI events in NYC, London, and Boston.
We believe that generation-defining companies are being born today and that community is infrastructure (just as much as foundation models are infrastructure) for AI innovation. We aim to help the grassroots of that innovation by bringing people together and adding value to the community.
