We've all seen the wave of AI demos...slick prototypes, weekend hacks, flashy concepts. This session is about what comes next.

We're spotlighting founders who've pushed past the proof-of-concept stage and built AI products or services that are live, in the hands of real users, and generating revenue. Think the trajectory of companies like Perplexity (search that people actually pay for), Cursor (an AI coding tool that became a default in developers' workflows), Midjourney (a bootstrapped AI image generator turned real business), or Harvey (AI built specifically for legal work, now used by major firms). These aren't hypothetical use cases, they're products solving real problems, with real customers, real revenue, and real traction.

We want to see that same energy from our own community. Each founder gets 5-7 minutes to walk through what they've built, one slide max, or none at all, just a live demo of the product in action, followed by open Q&A with the room.

If you're building something that's moved beyond the prototype phase and into the real world, email Tricia Bitetto, Program Manager at tricia@venturecafecambridge.org.
