SaaStr Week Founder Mixer 🍕🍺Step Out. StepFun In. ↗ luma.com/4cqlswgf

May 2026 · Downtown San Mateo, CA · Seamate × StepFun

We hosted this founder mixer during SaaStr Week with StepFun — pizza, drinks, and none of the slide decks. StepFun opened with a short intro, then we ran a 25-minute open mic where anyone could stand up and say what they were building and who they wanted to meet. 249 people registered: AI-native founders, SaaS builders adding AI to their stack, and investors watching the application layer. Big enough for good introductions, small enough that nobody got lost.

AI Native Developers Meetup @ Google I/O Week ↗ luma.com/ai-native-developers-io-week

May 2026 · Plug and Play Tech Center, Sunnyvale, CA · Seamate × Linkloud

Our biggest event yet. We ran a panel night for AI-native developers during Google I/O week with Linkloud, with speakers from Google, StepFun, Genspark, and Comfy on agents, AI-assisted development, multimodal creation, and what it takes to run any of it in production. 918 people registered and about 500 showed up — mostly developers already in town for I/O, plus founders, agent builders, and investors. Part of Seamate's Front Row Series: catch the whole ecosystem while it's in one place.

OpenClaw Guided Workshops: Build Your First AI Workflow Live

Feb – Mar 2026 · San Francisco, Mountain View, Palo Alto & Berkeley, CA · Kylon × Coral

We ran this workshop series with Coral, an early-stage startup that lets anyone deploy OpenClaw as a secure, always-on AI agent in minutes. We took it to five venues — San Francisco, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Stanford, and Berkeley Haas — and the room changed every time: small business owners and solo operators in SF, students and first-time founders at Stanford GSB and Haas, engineers and PMs in Mountain View. Roughly 1,300 people came across seven sessions.

Sake Night with Kylon ↗ luma.com/74s6v040

May 2026 · Private residence, San Francisco, CA · Kylon

We threw a two-night sake tasting for Kylon's pre-launch. Four to five premium sakes each night, a few surprises in between, and time with the team building the product. We capped it at about 28 guests a night in a private SF apartment so everyone could actually meet everyone — invite-only, mostly founders, operators, and early users we thought would care about what Kylon was making.
