Testimonials

"Hats off to my fellow panelists Astasia Myers, Eugenio Gonzalez, & Bhaskar Ghosh for dropping 💎’s on investing in enterprise AI.

And cheers to Nick Davidov, Marina Davidova, Elena Malyanova, & Kuzma Ledenev for putting on a great show!"
Vivek Sodera
Founder at Superhuman
"The event was unexpectedly much more relevant than I expected. My goal was to meet and better understand our startup community and the VC world and discuss current trends. I was expecting to come in the cold, know almost no one, and get exposed to interesting materials (both tech and VC) that would be totally new to me. It turned out current trends in GenAI are much closer to what I’m doing for a living than I expected.I managed to find quite a few very relevant tech conversations and knowledgeable people."
Anton
VP, Graphics Research at Intel

Community Partners

the AI Rabbit Hole is a community-driven conference, made a reality thanks to our friends and community partners.

Stand-up show

by Acoustic x DVC

Acoustic - оne night stand-up show where people with real jobs and fulfilling lives with hiking, therapists and boba tea become comedians.

At conferences, we usually see the front end of people, companies and startups. But now is the time to take a look at the back end.
‍
Five heroes, 7 min talk each. These people didn't lose their minds and they don't plan to lose their jobs. They just want to take a crack to share on stage their thoughts and pain.
Acoustic was shortlisted for the 2024 Forbes Women Mercury Awards — a list of 20 world-changing projects led by women founders.
