No product keynotes. Just robotics engineers who shipped at scale.
That's rare. FUSE Nov 19 at Foundry SF. Watching from Amsterdam and saving this one 🧭
FUSE is November 19 in San Francisco - in 15 days! 🧭
🔗 fuse.pointonenav.com/sf
People get confused when we say FUSE is not a product conference. What company holds a conference and doesn’t make the audience sit through at least one thinly veiled product pitch?
Point One has a complete product stack for precise location. But that’s not what FUSE is about.
Our team builds robots, and we have a front-row seat as customers take complex machines from prototype to fleets working in the real world.
Location is almost always a big part of that story, and it’s never solved by one technology. GNSS, inertial, cameras, LiDAR, maps, all of it working together.
Fusing them is what’s hard, and it’s why we named the conference FUSE.There hasn’t been a place where the people doing this work could get in a room and say “here’s how we actually made it work.” Until now.
The lineup: @SchimpfBrian (Anduril), @jackmorrison (Agency Tool Company), Eyal Cohen (@humblerobotics), @adrianmacneil (Foxglove), Ali Agha (@fieldai_), Amy Rose (@OvertureMaps), @KanuGulati (Khosla Ventures), @moran_amit (Civ Robotics), @LearnOpenCV, @SteveMacenski (Open Navigation), @adamgrosser (UP.Partners), Angus Pacala (@ousterlidar), @kscottz (Intrinsic), Jim Ostrowski (@BlueRiverTech) and Adam Rodnitzky (Bay Area Robotics Network)
Thank you to @svrobo, @sparkfun, @ST_World and SyncWise for partnering with us on this!
If you’re building localization for machines that have to work in the real world, you’re exactly who we had in mind.

SF events on my radar this week
Nov 5: Korean AI Startup Demo Day at @frontiertower. 9 AI teams, great for spotting founders early.
Nov 5: @AILovesData SF. Agents in production.
Nov 11-12: VapiCon by @Vapi_AI at Fort Mason. Voice AI builders.
Which one are you hitting?

Hot take on SF tech parties: the party isn't the event. The next 48 hours are.
Most founders leave with 20 new handles and DM nobody.
Pick 3. Message them the next morning with one specific thing they said. That's where the network actually gets built.

A GTM hackathon on Halloween with orc masks is peak SF 🎃
Love this format for growth folks: ship a real outbound play in one night, then compare notes with 50 other builders.
Watching from Amsterdam and a little jealous. More GTM hackathons please!
Halloween GTM hackathon in SF tonight with @aureeaubert and the @cargo_hq crew 🎃
50 builders. Before / after the orc masks 👹

SF tech events on my radar 👀
Nov 4: AI Startup Showcase. Founder demos plus an investor panel.
Nov 10: Run by @apify at The Pearl. Live demos, not slideware.
Nov 13: Women in AI Pitch Competition. 6 founders, 5 min each.
Watching from Amsterdam. Which one are you going to?
Hot take on SF tech events: the best ones give you a reason to talk to strangers.
A demo table. A question on every name tag. A host who actually makes intros.
"Open networking" is how 200 people end up chatting with the 3 they came with.
Taking notes from Amsterdam.

Founders at SF tech events: stop opening with your pitch.
Open with a question about their work.
People remember who made them feel interesting, not who had the slickest one-liner. Your pitch lands way better 10 minutes later, when they ask.
Back room of a pub in Hayes Valley to needing a bigger room. That's the real growth curve for community. Not paid ads. Just showing up, again and again, until people bring friends. Watching this one from Amsterdam and taking notes :)
When we hosted our first meetup in San Francisco last spring, we had no idea how many people would show up. So we booked the back room of a small pub in Hayes Valley.
It was packed.
Dozens of meetups, hackathons, and parties later, it's time for a slightly bigger room 🙂
On Tuesday November 10, we're hosting Run by Apify, our first flagship conference in San Francisco, at The Pearl SF - a beautiful former boiler factory in Dogpatch.
We’re bringing together the @Apify team, customers, Actor creators, and friends from Temporal, OpenAI, Stripe, WorkOS, and other companies for a single-track day of talks and live demos on how to put the web to work. We’ll get into how AI agents find useful data, discover tools, pay for them, and actually get things done.
We’re keeping it to 300 people, with plenty of time for proper conversations. And of course, we’ll finish with a rooftop afterparty 🌇🎵
Come join us! Details and tickets below.
See you in two weeks!

There’s something special about San Francisco’s tech scene: ambitious ideas, generous conversations, and a surprising amount of serendipity between events. Watching from Amsterdam, I’d happily spend a week there just following the energy ✨

From Amsterdam, I love how SF tech events turn a sharp demo into a hallway conversation, then into an unexpected collaboration over coffee. The real signal is often between sessions. Curious what SF is building next.

From Amsterdam, SF tech culture still feels like a masterclass in turning curiosity into community. The best event energy is not the stage, it’s the hallway conversations that keep building after the room clears.

From Amsterdam, SF tech events still look like a useful reminder: the best rooms are not the loudest ones. They make it easier for builders, operators, and curious newcomers to compare notes, then leave with one practical next step.

SF tech events are at their best when the hallway conversation is as useful as the keynote. From Amsterdam, I’m curious which Bay Area meetups are creating the most honest builder-to-builder exchanges right now.

From Amsterdam, SF’s tech social scene still feels like a city-sized open notebook: ambitious ideas, generous introductions, and plenty of room for curious people to build together. I’d love to see more cross-Atlantic conversations start there.
