Ignore Previous Instructions is a loose collection of AI founder, makers and investors. Join us for a fun evening of networking and conversation as we introduce the inaugural class of XLR8 presented by Raiz Capital in conjunction with Charles McCormick (McCormick & O’Brien, LLP, Beni VC, and NYC Startup Academy). We're unveiling the companies selected for Raiz Capital's inaugural XLR8 program through a traveling event from Boston, NYC and SF. These remarkable founders and companies have been handpicked in conjunction with an innovative AI approach to improve founder success. This isn't your average networking event. Come unwind from the world of AI to enjoy a pint of conversation. No dress code, no formalities, just bring your wit, and be ready to mix, mingle in a relaxed atmosphere. Remember to Ignore Previous Instructions. Event will be at 1411 Broadway, with entrances on both 7th and Broadway, between W. 39th and W. 40th.
