🌞 Chicago's Climate Tech Horizon

Hey Friends!

WE MADE IT to Issue #30 of the Driver’s Seat! 🚙 

Highlights from Last Week:

Our first AI Meetup on Campus took place at Illinois Tech.

Special thanks to IIT student Kaya Jones for helping us put this together. 

We had over 110 RSVPs for the event, where we spoke about AI activity in Chicago, along with my pitch for why today is the perfect time to build a business leveraging this technology.

My belief is that every company will find ways to leverage AI in one way or another to deliver value to customers and consumers.

This week, I’m heading to University of Michigan for our next second AI Meetup on Campus. 👇

We also held the first Chicago AI Tinkerers event at Drive Chicago!

AI Tinkerers is a meetup designed for builders with technical, machine learning, and entrepreneurial backgrounds, who are actively working with LLMs and generative AI.

The next AI Tinkerers @ Drive event will be on November 7th at Drive Chicago.

Be on the lookout for an announcement in an upcoming Driver’s Seat!
