we’ve heard a lot this week about how products are being built, but what about how they’re bought?
great panel on enterprise sales with lots of practical advice from @_CallMeMacy (@speedrun) + two incredible CTOs: Navi Baral @2K and May Wang @PaloAltoNtwks
thematic gong stage right!

My cofounder had to risk her life and ride a shark in this video just to show how we make AI learn and bridge the gap between different models at @SenseLabAI
If you are building agents (or with agents), give it a try!
We are changing lives 🤓

BREAKING NEWS: SF and LA Tech Week calendars are LIVE!
You can now register for events: tech-week.com/calendar
2,300+ event submissions across San Francisco and Los Angeles
📍SF: October 5-11
📍LA: October 12-18
People always ask about the data, so a few stats:
-SF once again takes the crown for “biggest tech week ever” with 1,500+ events
-1 in 7 SF events is about agentic AI: 213 events in SF and 53 in LA are explicitly about agents (in the title or description). In 2024 there were only about a dozen!
-There are 124 hackathons across the two weeks, and the variety is huge: everything from hardware to defense, media/creative, fintech, civic/social good, etc. Everyone is a builder now.
- LA, the OG Tech Week (now in its fifth year!), has seriously doubled down on deep tech with 100+ events and lots of El Segundo activity.
Last year, Tech Week saw attendees from over 100 countries. It’s going to be a party.
See you there! 🥳

Small drones with bad intentions are causing most casualties in combat and attacking civilian infrastructure far from any front line.
Mara raised $7M, led by @khoslaventures, to shoot them all down, and fast, with the world's cheapest counter-swarm.
