She Bytes Back x Funding Circle: Bringing Engineering Standards to Agentic Workflows

The VAST Builders Challenge is a three-city technical event series bringing together founders and engineers across New York, London, and San Francisco to build production-ready AI systems. Spend the day building agents to unlock the value of video. Because video is hard to search and analyze, most of it stays in storage, unwatched and underused. Experiment with the latest AI infrastructure, collaborate with other ambitious builders, and turn your ideas into shippable prototypes - with access to expert guidance, compute, and the tools you need to ship. Hosted with VAST Data in collaboration with NVIDIA, SpaceXAI, CoreWeave and Weights & Biases. Note: Registration closes on 15th October. Prizes 1st place: NVIDIA DGX Spark™ HuggingFace Microduck Cursor Credits Cash Gift Cards The Builders Stack Here's what you get out of the box, a lightning-quick setup: Video understanding: reason over a video clip with NVIDIA Cosmos. Semantic search: find moments across hours of footage using natural language. Object detection: real-time detection and tracking across frames with YOLO. General-purpose LLMs: models from Weights & Biases to power your application logic (e.g. video agents). The VAST AI OS orchestrates the video ingestion and data layer, models are served on CoreWeave GPUs, and builders ship with Cursor. Build your own video agent or something no one’s thought of. We'll share the videos to get you started on building video agents.

This event is now full - make sure to keep an eye out for the next one (probably in Jan) Come and join Emmie and Mae at The Female Founders Rise Show, live from The Fable, one of London's most gorgeous female-founded venues. We'll be sitting down with some incredible female founders for the kind of honest and real conversations that don't happen on a stage very often. We are super excited to be joined by: Frankie Bridge (CEO & Founder) and Leah Meredith (Chief Brand Officer) of Faves - You may recognise Frankie from The Saturdays or S Club Juniors. She and Leah have turned a weekly Sunday outfit post into Faves, a fashion community platform now working with River Island, ASOS and Katie Loxton. Pip Jamieson, Founder & CEO of The Dots - Pip built The Dots for her own community, growing it to over a million members before licensing the technology to power private social networks for the likes of Apple, UN Women UK, The Conduit and Soho House's Works community. Named one of The Sunday Times' Top 100 Disruptive Entrepreneurs. There'll be founder showcases and a few extra surprises too. You'll have time to meet, talk, and connect with others, which is why we love to host these episodes live. We'll be recording this live and can't wait to have you in the room. The last two sold out. Bring your partners, friends and fellow founders. Everyone is welcome to join us. About the Event Organiser: Female Founders Rise is a B Corp community of 11,000+ women and non-binary founders.

Join us for a conversation about what is actually possible now with AI, and where the next opportunities are. This is the London AI Meetup: an informal gathering of top professionals, founders, researchers, engineers, and AI enthusiasts who come together quarterly to swap notes on what is working, what is not, and what we are each figuring out along the way. No talks, no panels, no slides, just good conversations with people who care about AI. This edition is hosted in partnership with Lovable, the platform turning ideas into working software through a conversation. Our community has grown to 1,000+ members, with alumni from leading AI labs and tech companies. Bring your questions, your perspective, and a willingness to share what you have learned. Good company awaits. Looking forward to seeing you there! ---- Lovable London. Lovable makes it possible to turn ideas into working software by describing what you want to build. Lovable London Community brings together people across the city to experiment, build and ship. More information here: https://london-lovable-community.lovable.app/ London AI Meetup. London AI Meetup brings together AI enthusiasts, founders and leaders for curated, in-person conversations about AI, through quarterly meetups and invite-only events.
